In thaiboxing and international rules kickboxing, there is no
minimum kick requirement per round by the Commission. In full contact
kickboxing the minimum kick requirement is 6 kicks for amateur contestants and
8 kicks for professional contestant per round. Full Contact Kickboxing
contestants must make their best effort with an above the belt kick for the
kick to be counted against their kick requirement. The referee may encourage
the fighters to increase their activity (including kicking). Judges should take
note of referees warnings and encouragements and score against the fighter who
is not performing the more effective techniques.
(1) |
A contestant
who intentionally refuses to engage an opponent for a prolonged period of time,
or who deliberately clinches or holds onto an opponent shall receive an
immediate warning from the referee. If the contestant continues to utilize such
passive tactics after receiving one warning during the round, points shall be
deducted from the contestant's total score as determined by the
referee. |
(2) |
If the contestant
repeats the passive tactics, either in the same round or in the following
rounds, he or she may be considered guilty of a foul and penalized
accordingly. |
(3) |
In professional
bouts, the contest will not be stopped by the loss of a mouthpiece until there
is a clear break from the action. Repeated losing of the mouthpiece or
intentional spitting out of the mouthpiece will constitute a foul and will be
penalized accordingly. |
(1) |
If a bout is
stopped because of an accidental foul, the referee shall determine whether or
not the contestant who has been fouled can continue. The referee may consult
with the attending physician. If the contestant's chances have not been
seriously jeopardized as a result of the foul, the referee may order the bout
continued after a reasonable interval. |
(2) |
On the other hand, if by reason of
accidental foul a contestant shall be rendered unfit to continue the contest,
the bout shall be terminated. The scorekeeper shall tally all scores,
subtracting all penalties. If the injured contestant is behind on points in the
majority opinion of the judges, then the referee shall declare the contest to
be a technical draw. But if the injured contestant has a lead in points, then
the referee shall declare him or her to be the winner by technical
decision. |
(3) |
Further, should an
accidental foul terminate a bout during the first round, the referee shall
declare the contest to be a technical draw. |
(1) |
The referee
or the attending ringside physician shall have the power to stop a contest. The
referee shall have the power to stop a contest at any stage if he or she
considers the bout too onesided, or if either contestant is in such condition
that to continue might subject him or her to serious injury. In either case,
the referee shall declare the fit contestant to be the winner by technical
knockout. |
(2) |
Should both
contestants be in such condition that to continue might subject them to serious
injury, the referee shall declare the contest to be a technical draw. |
(3) |
In cases where a contestant receives a
cut eye from a fair blow, or an accidental foul, or any other injury which the
referee believes may incapacitate the contestant, the referee must call the
attending physician into the ring for examination of the contestant before the
referee decides whether to stop the contest. Time will be called during the
examination. |
In any case where the referee decides that the contestants are
not honestly competing, or that the knockout or the foul has been a prearranged
termination of the contest, he or she shall neither finish the knockout count
nor disqualify a contestant for fouling nor render a decision. Instead, the
referee shall stop the bout and declare the contest ended not later than before
the end of the last round. The referee shall then order the purses of both
contestants held pending investigation and disposition of funds by the
Commission.
(1) |
No
contestant shall leave the ring during the one-minute rest period between
rounds. Should a contestant fail or refuse to resume the contest when the bell
sounds denoting the start of the next round, the referee shall declare the
contestant's opponent to be the winner by knockout as of the round which last
ended. |
(2) |
However, should the
referee decide that the circumstances surrounding the bout's termination
require investigation, or disciplinary action, then the referee shall not make
a decision, but rather shall order the purses of both contestants held pending
investigation and disposition of funds by the Commission. |
(1) |
A contestant
shall be declared knocked down if any portion of the contestant's body other
than the feet touch the floor, or if the contestant hangs helplessly over the
ropes. "Flash" knock downs in Thai boxing will not be considered knock downs.
Flash Knock downs are considered knock downs in which the contestant returns to
his/her feet almost immediately. |
(2) |
A contestant shall not be declared
knocked down if he or she is punched, thrown, or accidentally slips to the
floor. The determination as to whether a contestant is pushed, thrown or slips
to the floor, rather than being knocked down, shall be made by the
referee. |
(1) |
Whenever a
contestant is knocked down, the referee shall order the contestant's opponent
to retire to the farthest corner of the ring, pointing to the corner and
immediately begin the count over the knocked down contestant. The referee will
audibly announce the passing of each one-second interval, indicating its
passage with a downward motion of the arm. |
(2) |
Any time a contestant is knocked down,
the referee shall automatically begin a mandatory eight-count and then, if the
contestant appears able to continue, will allow the bout to resume. The
timekeeper, through effective signaling, shall give the referee the correct
one-second intervals for the count. The referee's count is the only official
count. |
(3) |
Should a contestant be
knocked down three times in one round from blows to the head, the referee shall
stop the contest and declare the contestants opponent to be the winner by
technical knockout. The three knock down rule may be waived by agreement
between Commission, promoter, and contestants prior to the bout in championship
bouts.
(a) |
Whenever a contestant is knocked
out primarily as a result of a kick, whether or not the kick occurred in
combination with punches, the referee shall declare the contestant's opponent
to be the winner by either kick knockout or technical kick knockout, whichever
is appropriate and shall be entered into the fighter's official record as a
TKO. |
|
(4) |
Should a
contestant who is down rise before the count of ten is reached and then go down
immediately without being struck, the referee shall resume the count where it
was left off. |
(5) |
If the contestant
taking the count is still down when the referee calls the count of ten, the
referee shall wave both arms to indicate that the contestant has been knocked
out and will signal that the contestant's opponent is the winner. |
(6) |
A round's ending before the referee
reached the count of ten will have no bearing on the count. The contestant must
still rise before the count of ten to avert a knockout. |
(7) |
Should both contestants go down at the
same time, the referee shall continue to count as long as one of the
contestants is down. If both contestants remain down until the count of ten,
the contest will be stopped and the referee shall declare the bout to be a
technical draw. However, if one contestant rises before the count of ten and
the other contestant remains down, the first contestant to rise shall be
declared the winner by knockout. Should both contestants rise before the count
of ten, the round will continue. |
There shall be no standing eight count.
As soon as a contestant has been knocked down, the timekeeper
shall begin calling the count, from one to ten, while the referee directs the
contestant's opponent to a neutral corner. When the referee has finished
directing the opponent to a neutral corner, he or she shall return to the
knocked down contestant and count over him or her, picking up the count from
the timekeeper.
(1) |
A contestant who
has been wrestled, pushed, or who has fallen through the ropes during the
contest, may not be helped back into the ring. The referee shall allow
reasonable time for the return. When on the ring platform outside the ropes,
the contestant must enter the ring immediately. Should the contestant stall for
time outside the ropes, the referee shall start the count without waiting for
the contestant to re-enter the ring. |
(2) |
Once a fallen contestant re-enters the
ring, the referee may either resume the contest or start the round from the
moment that the contestant is back in the ring. |
(3) |
Whenever a contestant falls through the
ropes, the contestant's opponent must retire to the farthest corner, as
directed by the referee and remain there until ordered to resume the
contest. |
(4) |
A contestant who
deliberately wrestles or throws an opponent from the ring, or who hits an
opponent who is partly out of the ring and thus prevented by the ropes from
assuming a position of defense, may be penalized. |
Before a fallen contestant resumes competition, after having
been knocked to, slipped to, or fallen to the floor, the referee shall wipe the
contestant's gloves free of any foreign substance.
(1) |
The referee
may, at his or her discretion, request the physician to examine a contestant
during the bout. Should the examination occur during the course of a round, the
clock shall be stopped until the examination is completed. |
(2) |
If after consulting with the physician,
the referee decides that further contact below the belt, whether from fair or
foul blow, will result in injury to a contestant's knee, he or she shall
prohibit striking below the belt for the remainder of the bout. |
(3) |
Also, the physician shall have the power
to order the referee to stop the bout, at any time, due to the incapacitation
of one or both contestants. The referee will then render the appropriate
decision. |
(1) |
The judges
shall score all contests and determine the winner through the use of the
10-Point Must System. In this system the winner of each round receives ten
points and the opponent receives a proportionately smaller number. But in no
circumstances shall a judge award the loser of each round fewer than seven
points. If a round is judged even, each contestant shall receive ten points. No
fraction of points may be given. |
(2) |
Judges should base their scores on the
relative effectiveness of each contestant in a given round. |
(3) |
Generally, sweeps should not be given the
same weight as an official knockdown. Judges should watch for the technique's
effectiveness in slowing down a contestant. |
(4) |
Further, a contestant who aggressively
presses an opponent throughout a round, but cannot land a threatening kick or
punch, should not be judged as favorably as the contestant who back-pedals
throughout the round but counter-attacks with visible impact. |
(5) |
More specifically, the judges shall award
points to contestants on the basis of round-by-round outcomes and in accordance
with the following scores:
(a) |
10 points to 10
points whenever neither contestant dominates the other with superiority in
effectiveness. |
(b) |
10 points to 9
points whenever the winning contestant dominates the losing contestant with a
marginal superiority in effectiveness. |
(c) |
10 points to 8 points whenever the
winning contestant dominates the losing contestant with exceptional
above-the-belt kicking technique, or whenever the winning contestant dominates
the losing contestant with a significant superiority in effectiveness as might
be indicated by one knockdown. |
(d) |
10 points to 7 points whenever the winning contestant dominates the losing
contestant with an overwhelming superiority in effectiveness as must be
indicated by more than one knockdown.
1. |
Following each round and at the termination of the contest, the referee shall
pick up the ballots of the judges. The referee shall then deliver the ballots
to the scorekeeper who shall tally all scores, subtract all penalties and
deliver the totals to the Commission representative assigned to verify them.
The majority opinion of the three judges, less penalty points, shall be
conclusive. If there is no majority opinion, then the decision shall be a
draw. |
|
|
(6) |
When the Commission representative has completed verifying and totaling the
scores, the announcer then in turn shall inform the audience of the decision
over the public address system. The referee shall raise the winner's
hand. |
All kickboxing promoters and events shall be subject to
85-1-.02.
If kickboxing is added to an approved mixed martial arts or
boxing event, no additional fees or permits are required.
Each applicant for a kickboxing license shall submit to the
Commission such application and supporting documentation including Applicant
Affidavit of the applicant's amateur fighter's record on forms prescribed by
the Commission.
