				  points. Partial or incomplete rounds shall be scored. Any point deduction

				  from each of the scoring judges for failure to execute the number of required
				  kicks.

				points by the judges and referee, the determination as to the occurrence of
				knockdowns, knockouts and fouls and the procedure to be used following such
				occurrence shall be accomplished in the following manner and based on the
				following criteria, which criteria is listed in the order of importance:

				with the padded knuckle part of the glove to the front or side of the head or
				body above the belt, and the participant who delivers such a punch shall be

				A knockdown is scored as soon as it occurs. The participant who takes advantage
				of the full 9-second count shall be credited with ring generalship that would
				not be credited to him if he arose immediately and, in a groggy condition,
				tried to continue. If he arises before the count of nine and handles himself
				well, either aggressively or defensively after he is on his feet, he shall be
				credited with ring generalship. If the participant who is down arises during
				the count, the referee may, if he deems it advisable, step between the
				participants for such period of time to assure himself that the participant who
				has just arisen is able to continue. When so assured, he shall, without loss of
				time, order both participants to proceed with the match. The following shall be
				used to determine when a knockdown has occurred and the procedure to be
				followed after a knockdown has occurred:
a. A
				participant shall be considered to be knocked down when:
(I) Any part of his body, other than his
				feet, is on the floor,
(II) He is
				hanging helplessly over the ropes,
(III) He is rising from a down position,
				or
(IV) At the conclusion of a
				round in a match, he leaves the ring and fails to be in the ring when the bell
				sounds indicating the beginning of the next round.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) When adequate
				technology is available, instant replay may be used by the referee who is
				working a bout to examine the fight ending sequence for fouls which led to the
				end of the bout. Instant replay may be used only after the fight has officially
				concluded and before the final official outcome of the fight is announced in
				the ring or cage. Only the referee is authorized to initiate instant replay
				review. The referee must watch the instant replay footage of the fight ending
				sequence and may consult with other referees assigned to work the program of
				matches to determine the correct outcome of the bout. Only the working referee
				is authorized to make the final official determination of the outcome of the
				bout following the instant replay review. No bout may resume after the
				initiation of instant replay review. Nothing in this part shall restrict the
				Commission's authority to review any evidence in making a determination under
				subsection 61K1-3.033(4),
				F.A.C.
(2) Instant replay is a
				video reproduction of something that recently occurred which was both filmed
				and or broadcast live using combinations of video servers and high-speed
				cameras.
(3) If the promoter
				decides to use instant replay in the filming and or broadcasting of any match,
				the cost of doing so shall be that of the promoter.
(4) The promoter shall advise the Commission
				before the first bout if instant replay will be used at a match and the type of
				equipment.
(5) The promoter, on
				request, shall provide the referee immediate access to the original instant
				replay footage in question.
(6) The
				instant replay footage may be by: frame-by-frame review, replay at variable
				speeds, slow motion, freeze frame, from multiple camera angles or any
				combination of the foregoing.
(7)
				Adequate technology for the purposes of Rule
				61K1-3.043, F.A.C., means that
				the quality of the instant replay footage must provide the referee with a clear
				and accurate view of the action in question.
