Section 23.23 - Cautions and Warnings

Universal Citation: 523 MA Code of Regs 523.23

Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

(1) The referee may choose to caution a combatant if he or she perceives that there may be an impending foul or if there has been an unintentional foul. A caution carries no judging penalty but may advise the referee in assessing a warning for similar fouls.

(2) The referee may issue a warning for rule infractions or assess a one point penalty. The point shall be subtracted from the final round score by the judges.

(3) Severity of the penalty shall be determined by the impact the illegal act had on the bout. A combatant should never benefit from an illegal act. If the act in question results in giving the combatant a positional advantage, the referee may stop the action to take away the advantage. If the combatant uses an illegal technique to escape from a disadvantaged position, the referee may issue a warning.
