Current through June, 2024
(a) General. A referee shall submit a report
				of any and all contests which he referees, including therein any matter
				involving disregard of the rules or the law and any recommendation relative to
				fines or suspensions of violators. This report must be filed immediately after
				working his share of contests.
(b)
				Stopped bout. All referees must fully and explicitly describe the circumstances
				in which any bout is stopped on account of a technical knockout. The referee's
				report must contain the exact reason for his actions in awarding the decision
				to the winners as a result of a technical knockout.

Current through June, 2024
(a) Duty. Every referee is required to warn
				competing boxers of his power to recommend the forfeiture of purse or purses,
				should there be any apparent cause for such warning.
(b) Decision. In any case where the referee
				decides that the contestants are not honestly competing and that under the law
				their purses or the purse of either contestant should be forfeited, the BOUT
				MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE THE END OF THE LAST ROUND, AND NO DECISION SHALL BE
				GIVEN. A contestant earns nothing and shall not be paid for a contest in which
				there is stalling, faking or dishonesty or collusion. The commission shall have
				the power, independently of the referee or his decision, to determine the
				merits of any contest, and take whatever action it considers proper. In any
				such case the executive secretary or commissioner may order the purse of the
				offender held up for investigation and action. This is a condition an applicant
				for any license must agree to in the securing of any license in the State of
				Hawaii.
(c) Count. As counting a
				boxer out, or disqualifying one of the contestants for fouling, is held to be
				in effect giving a decision, in case the referee decides that one or both of
				the contestants are not honestly competing, and that the knockdown is "a dive"
				or the foul a prearranged termination of the bout, he SHALL NOT FINISH THE
				KNOCKDOWN COUNT OR DISQUALIFY FOR FOULING OR AWARD DECISION TO OPPONENT, but
				shall stop the bout and order the purses of both boxers held pending
				investigation by the commission. The announcer or referee shall so inform the
				audience, particularly, that no decision has been rendered.
