					 The referee shall, at the time of the infraction, inform each judge and the

When necessary to deduct points because of fouls or other

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
When the contestant is knocked down or as the result of a
					 punch is knocked through the ropes the referee shall order the opponent to
					 retire to a corner of the ring, pointing to the corner, and immediately pick up
					 the count from the timekeeper. He shall audibly announce the passing of the
					 count. No contestant who is knocked down shall be allowed to resume boxing
					 until the referee has finished counting eight. The contestant may take the
					 count either on the floor or standing. The timekeeper, by effective signalling,
					 shall give the referee the correct one-second interval for his count. The
					 referee's count is the official count.
Should the opponent fail to stay in the designated corner
					 the referee shall cease counting until he has returned to it, and then go on
					 with the count from the point from which it was interrupted. If the boxer who
					 is down arises before the count of ten, the referee shall evaluate his or her
					 ability to continue. If assured that the boxer who has just arisen is fit to
					 continue, the referee shall without loss of time, order both boxers to go on
					 with the contest. Should a contestant who is "down" arise before the count of
					 "10" is reached, and go down immediately without being struck, the referee
					 shall resume the count where it was left off.
If the contestant taking the count is still down when the
					 referee calls the count of 10 or if in the opinion of the referee the fighter
					 who was knocked down is in no condition to continue, the referee shall wave
					 both arms to indicate a knockout.
If both boxers go down at the same time, counting shall be
					 continued as long as one of them is still down. If both boxers remain down
					 until the count of 10 the contest shall be stopped and the decision shall be a
					 technical draw. If at the end of a round a boxer is "down" and the referee is
					 in the course of counting, the gong indicating the end of the round will not be
					 sounded except for the final scheduled round. The gong will be sounded only
					 when the referee gives the command "box" indicating the continuation of the
