Why can't amateur boxers have a beard

One of my fighters got DQ'd at the STL GG's in January for having about 10 scraggly hairs on his chin.

I shaved the night before a fight one time, because we had to leave early the next day to get there. Weigh ins were around 2:00 I think. I barely had any stubble on my face and they made me shave before I got on the scale.
