24.117.1522    ACCIDENTAL FOULS

(1) If a contest or exhibition is stopped because of an accidental foul, the referee shall determine whether or not the combatant who has been fouled can continue. If the fouled combatant's chance of winning has not been seriously jeopardized as a result of the accidental foul and if the foul did not involve a concussive impact to the head of the fouled combatant, the referee may order the contest or exhibition continued after a recuperative interval of not more than five minutes. Immediately after separating the combatants, the referee shall inform the board inspector of the determination that the foul was accidental.

(2) If the referee determines that a contest or exhibition may not continue because of an injury suffered as a result of an accidental foul, the contest or exhibition must be declared a no contest if the foul occurred during:

(a) the first two rounds of a contest or exhibition scheduled for three rounds or less; or

(b) the first three rounds of a contest or exhibition scheduled for more than three rounds.

(3) If an accidental foul renders a combatant unable to continue after the completed second round of a contest or exhibition scheduled for three rounds or less, or the completed third round of a contest or exhibition scheduled for more than three rounds, the judges shall score the completed rounds and the round during which the referee stops the contest or exhibition.

(4) If an injury inflicted by an accidental foul later becomes aggravated by fair blows and the referee orders the contest or exhibition stopped because of the injury, the judges shall score the completed rounds and the round during which the referee stops the contest or exhibition.
