				  the referee's reflexes, and overall ability to direct and control the contest
				  in a manner designed to ensure the protection of the participants and to obtain
				  the contestants' compliance with the statutes and rules of the commission
				  applicable to the particular contest. The evaluator may include written
				  comments where a satisfactory grade is rendered but shall make specific written
				  comments where a grade of unsatisfactory or needs improvement is rendered. The
				  grade and any comments pertaining thereto shall be filed with the executive
				  officer in the Sacramento office and may be inspected or copied by the referee
				  or anyone designated in writing by the referee so graded. Any referee wishing
				  to protest an evaluation shall do so in writing within 30 days after the
				  evaluation has been served on the referee.
(b) If a referee files a written protest of
				  any evaluation, the executive officer or that person's designee shall, in
				  consultation with the evaluator, discuss the evaluation with the referee. Where
				  the evaluation was unsatisfactory or needs improvement, the referee shall be
				  given recommendations for improving his or her performance.

					 as of the last day of the plan year coinciding with or next following the date

					 solely from the pension fund.

				  benefit in an installment contract or annuity for the benefit of the covered
				  boxer or the participating boxer's beneficiary by conversion of existing
				  contracts or otherwise. Such installment contract, endorsed as nontransferable,
				  may be distributed to the covered boxer or the covered boxer's
				  beneficiary;
(3) To distribute to
				  the covered boxer the contracts on the covered boxer's life; in such event, if
				  the vested interest of the covered boxer is less than the value of contracts to
				  be distributed, then the commission may reduce their net value to the amount of
				  the vested interest by making a policy loan or allowing the participating boxer
				  to purchase the excess contract value; or
(4) Any combination of the preceding
				  methods.
