If a fighter does not come out of their corner when the bell rings at the start of the round, the referee will begin to count as if the fighter was knocked down, and the judges will consider the situation as an actual knockout when the round is scored. At the end of the count, if the fighter fails or refuses to resume the fight, the referee awards a technical knockout blow to his opponent, unless the circumstances indicate to the referee the need for an investigation or disciplinary action, in which case the referee will not decide on the “fight outcome”. The bags of each of the fighters will remain suspended based on the results of the investigation.

16. Wiping hand pads

Before a downed fighter resumes his fight after being knocked down, slipped, or fallen to the canvas, the referee wipes that fighter’s gloves free of any dirt or moisture.

17. The method of counting on the falling warrior

When a fighter is down, the referee will open the count announcing “One”, then send the standing fighter to the farthest neutral corner of the ring, pointing to that corner. The timekeeper will immediately start raising fingers to determine how many seconds have passed. The referee will look at the timekeeper to take the count. He will audibly announce the passing of the seconds, and continue the count as he raises his fingers in front of the downed fighter.

If a fighter is knocked down, the referee will begin the compulsory eight-count. If the fighter appears to be able to continue, the match will be allowed to resume.

The number of judgment is the only official count.

The referee may not count from eight if a fighter stands on his feet and raises his hands up in the fighting position.

The bell, even in the last round, may not save a fighter. However, if the bell rings, and the round ends before the fighter begins to fall, the fighter will be allowed to return to his corner, assisted, if necessary, by only one of his seconds.

If the opponent fails to stay in the farthest neutral corner, the referee stops counting until he has returned to him, then resumes counting at the point from which it was cut off.

If a fighter does not get up before the ten count, they will be declared eliminated and the match will be awarded to their opponent.

If the referee deems that the downed fighter will not be able to get up by the count of ten, and believes the fighter needs more immediate attention, he may signal the end of the bout before the count of ten by waving his arms and immediately calling the doctor, and the fighter’s corner personnel to attend to the fighter Lower.

A fighter will be declared down if any part of his body, other than his feet, touches the ground. A fighter will not be declared down if he is accidentally pushed or slipped to the ground. The decision as to whether a fighter is pushed or slid to the ground, rather than being brought down, will be made by the referee.

If the warrior counting down remains when the referee calls the count of ten, the referee will wave his arms to indicate that they are out, and will indicate that the opponent is the winner.

the end of the round before the referee reaches ten, it will have no effect on the count; There is no bell rescue. In all rounds, a downed fighter must rise before the ten count to avoid being disqualified.

The referee may decide during the rest period between rounds that the fighter is unable to continue the bout safely and is therefore the loser of the bout by technical knockout.

The referee may request that a doctor examine the fighter during the bout. If the examination is performed during the cycle, the clock must be stopped until the examination is completed.

If both fighters go down simultaneously, the count continues as long as one of them goes down. If both fighters remain down until the count of ten, the bout will be stopped, and the decision will be a technical draw. If one fighter rises before the count of ten, and the other fighter remains down, the first fighter ascending will be declared the winner by knockout. If both fighters step up before the ten count, the round continues.

18. Resume counting

If a downed fighter gets up before reaching ten, and goes down immediately without being hit, the referee must resume the count from where it left off. If a fighter stands for more than two seconds, or his opponent touches him in some way before going down, the referee will start a new count.

19. Count for a knockdown

Once the fighter is down, the timekeeper begins calling the count (from one to ten while the referee directs the opponent to the farthest neutral corner. When the referee catches the standing fighter, he returns to the fallen fighter and counts on him, picking up the count from the timekeeper. In other words, if the timekeeper has reached Time to the Count of Four By the time the referee returns to the downed fighter, the referee begins to count to “five.” The referee continues to check the timekeeper’s signal to ensure that the timing of the count (the referee’s) is correct.

20. Standing count

In all amateur and professional bouts, the referee may count eight players standing for a fighter who is in trouble, but is still standing. He must direct the opponent to a neutral corner, then count from one to eight, visually checking the fighter in trouble while counting. If, after completing the eight-count, the referee determines that the fighter is able to continue, the fight will be restarted. If the referee determines that the fighter is unable to continue, the fight will be stopped and the opponent will be declared the winner by technical knockout.

21. When a fighter falls out of the ring during a round

When a fighter is grappled, pushed, or dropped over or through the ropes during a match, the referee will call a timeout. If the fallen fighter’s ability to return to the ring seems doubtful at all, the referee may ask the fighter to be examined by a doctor. If the doctor and referee deem that the fallen fighter is able to continue the match, they will be allowed to return to the ring. The cornerback will do no more than assist the downed fighter, and if he is found to be performing any other task such as trying to stop the bleeding etc., the referee will immediately penalize or disqualify the downed fighter.

The referee penalizes a fighter who grapples, pushes, or throws an opponent out of the ring, or strikes him when he is partially outside the ring and the ropes prevent him from taking up a defensive position. If the tactic results in injury, the guilty fighter may be disqualified in accordance with the appropriate ruling under the fouls.

When a fighter intentionally falls through the ropes, or has been knocked out of the ring by a fair blow (i.e. not wrestled, shoved, or pushed through the ropes by the opponent), the referee will begin counting the fallen fighter as if they had been knocked into the ring. The fighter’s seconds, in this case, will not be allowed to help the fighter back into the ring.

Once standing on the ring platform outside the ropes, the fighter must immediately enter the ring, where they may either restart the match, or the referee may finish the count. When a fighter falls over or through the ropes, the other fight must remain in the farthest neutral corner until the referee orders the bout to continue.

22. Three knockdown referee

The referee will in all circumstances have the power to stop the contest or to allow it to continue, regardless of the number of knockouts or eight counts not exceeding three. Section VI: Physical Examination and Safety Regulations

One hour before the start of the event, the physician will notify the WKR representative in writing that the fighters are in good physical shape.

5. Disease reports

When a fighter, due to injury or illness, is unable to participate in a contracted bout, that fighter or his manager must immediately report the incident to WKR. Then the fighter undergoes an examination by a doctor. The warrior or promoter pays the examination fee to the doctor if the latter requests an examination.

6. Constant presence of the UT mobile emergency physician

There must be at least one licensed physician, with a master’s degree in medicine or equivalent, and one backup emergency stretcher at all WKR-sanctioned events. The mobile phone must include a full set of resuscitation equipment and accessories and be parked inside or next to the entrance to the building hosting the event. The doctor should sit directly next to the ring for the duration of the seizures. The stretcher, oxygen tank, and “instant ice” containers must be readily available at ringside.

The match will not be allowed to proceed unless the doctor is present in the ring. The doctor will not leave until after the decision in the final game. A doctor would be ready to assist should any serious emergency arise, and would provide temporary or emergency treatments for minor cuts or injuries suffered by combatants.

Under no circumstances are fighters allowed to enter the ring or to groom the fighter in any way whatsoever, during the round. The ringside physician cannot tend to an injured fighter during the fight, but can only provide a professional opinion on whether or not the injured fighter can resume the match.

7. Injury report

All treating physicians must report all cases in which combatants were injured during a bout or applied for medical assistance after the event. If a Fighter sustains a knockout, or other serious injury, whether in or out of the ring, whether or not associated with kickboxing, is on that account treated by his personal physician, or is admitted to a hospital, the Fighter and shall Their manager shall promptly provide a full report from that physician or hospital to the WKR 8. Exit of the fighters

Fighters who have been knocked out will lie flat until they recover. When a fighter is eliminated, no one will touch the fighter except the referee or the second, who will remove the fighter’s mouthpiece, until the ringside doctor enters the ring and personally attends to the downed fighter and issues such instructions as he (the doctor) deems fit to handle the fighter.

If a fighter sustains an injury, loses, engages in an unusual pushing bout, or if a technical knockout is ordered against him by the referee, that fighter will be placed on the sick and unavailable list. A fighter who loses by knockout will be suspended from the competition. A fighter who loses by technical knockout may also be stopped. A fighter must be examined by a physician in order to obtain medical clearance (permit) to return to competition.

9. Suspension due to disability

Any fighter who is rejected (not authorized to compete) will be suspended by the examining physician until that fighter has been shown fit for further competition. Any fighter who is suspended for 30 days for his medical (health and safety) protection, or suspended after a hard fight, will be subject to the same examination as is required for physical and mental eligibility to return to competition. The doctor may order any other procedures to determine the fighter’s current condition.

10. The time between rounds

11. Use of prohibited substances and drugs

Any use by a fighter of any of the prohibited substances and/or drugs will result in disqualification, fines, and suspension.

Section VII: Officers, Employees, and Duties
1. Circular officials

A referee, three judges, one time officiant, a WKR representative, and a physician must be present during the match. Judges may be required to kick for full contact. All administrators must be qualified and registered. The WKR will appoint for each event an official WKR representative, who will be responsible for appointing the referee and judges. A WKR representative will work with the promoter in appointing other ringside officials, but the final authority to select and appoint all officials to the front row will remain with the WKR. If an event falls under the jurisdiction of a local sport organizing authority (the commission), and its regulations require any change, the decision will be made by a representative of the WKR with respect to those regulations.

2- Countries and states (territories) governed by the local sport organizing authority (the commission)

In those areas where the sport is organized by the commission, the commission will usually provide an on-site inspector (delegated), who will assist the promoter in the operation of the event. In these cases, the WKR representative will work closely with the inspector in the performance of his or her duties.

3. Timekeeper equipment

The promoter will provide all audio and recording equipment needed for the timekeeping. In those commission-regulated areas, a second timekeeper may be provided by the commission, in which case, they will bring their own equipment.

4. Duties of the timekeeper

The timekeeper will give the appropriate signal for the start and end of each round. The timekeeper will keep time during each round, and start and stop the official clock, for time-outs set by the referee. The timekeeper will keep time during the rest period for each round according to the fight schedule. Ten seconds before the start of each round, the timekeeper will give a warning seconds (corner) to the fighters with an appropriate signal.

5. THE JUDGETS KICKED THEIR DUTIES

For Full Contact matches, there will be two kicking judges at ringside, whose responsibility is to determine the legality of kicks taken by fighters, and to maintain that the number of kicks considered legal. The kicking judge assigned to fighter A will sit opposite fighter A’s corner, and the judge who kicks designated fighter B will sit opposite fighter B’s corner.

Each of the kicking referees will keep track of the number of kicks taken by their assigned fighters using handheld cards containing 8 flip cards numbered 1,2,3,4, up to 8. When the first legal kick is thrown, the kicking referee will drop a card to show the number 7. When it is done Throwing each subsequent legal kick, the kicking judge will hold the appropriate number until all eight kicks have been thrown. At that time, the kicking judge will continue to count kicks, and will note the number of kicks the fighter assigned to him has thrown during the round on the kicking referees tally sheet to be captured once the bout is over.

A knockout or standing eight will count as a kick to both fighters. If a fighter takes less than the minimum number of legal kicks required in any one round, the kicking judge will immediately notify the referee of the number of kicks thrown. The referee will in turn notify the judges, who will record the appropriate penalty. Violations of the minimum kick requirements will not be made public, unless directed by a WKR representative.

The event promoter must provide all flip cards to the kicking referees. 6. Scoring method for judges

The three point match judges will choose a winner from each round at the end of each round, and mark their scorecards accordingly. These scorecards will be collected by the referee, and tabulated at the end of each round by a WKR representative (moderator). Once the respective referees have marked their scorecards, any changes to those scorecards will only be permitted at the direction of a WKR representative. The judges score all rounds by scoring ten points for the winner in each round, and a score of at least eight points for the loser in each round, depending on the following qualifications:

10.10 points up and round. Neither fighter has distinguished himself as a more effective fighter than the other. In addition, the fighters appeared equal in other areas that could be used to break up an even round, such as control of the opponent, ring strategy, and general conditioning and abilities.

10.9 indicates that a fighter distinguished himself as the most effective fighter during the round, as described above. This score is used a lot, and indicates that there is a clear margin between the two fighters.

10.8 refers to a round in which one fighter was in constant control, unquestionably outperforming his opponent. This fighter must have clearly stunned his opponent. It usually includes at least one knockdown or one of eight fixed counts, or cut(s).

10.7 refers to more than eight numbers.

Conclusion for the match

The sum of the points on each given scorecard is calculated to determine each judge’s selection of a winner. Each judge’s selection will count as one vote to determine the overall winner of the match.

If, when collected, the judge’s scorecard reflects an equal number of points for both fighters, that judge will have voted for a tie. If two judges have an equal number of points for both fighters, the bout will be declared a draw. If one of the judges has an equal number of points for both fighters and the scores of the other judges each favor a different player, the bout will be declared a draw. If the scores of two judges favor one, and the other judge votes for a tie, the fighter with two votes wins by majority decision. If all three judges’ scores favor one fighter, that fighter will be declared the winner by unanimous decision. If one judge votes for a fighter, and the other two judges vote for the other fighter, the winner will be declared by split decision.

In all title bouts for the vacant title – there will be no draws. In all of these title matches, a tie-breaker card will be dealt to the three referees before the match begins. All judges will indicate a winner on a tie-breaker ticket based on their overall perception of the match from start to catch (rather than round by round). The tie-breaker will be combined with the scorecards for the final round. These tiebreaker cards will only be used for tiebreakers. When the judge’s score actually determines their vote, the tiebreaker card will be discarded.

If it is necessary to replace a judge during a bout due to illness, the scores will represent the rounds already completed. A substitute judge, appointed by a WKR representative, will score the remaining rounds of the bout. In the event a tiebreaker ticket is requested, the WKR representative will vote on a tiebreaker based on their perception of the match as a whole.

This vote will only be used when the substitute judge’s score is found to be a tie.

7. Duties of the Registrar

At the end of each round, the scorer will take the scorecards from the assistant scorer or WKR supervisor who will collect them from the three scoring referees, take the number of kicks from the two referees’ kick cards, and then tab the scores onto his or her master scorecard.

The scorer must calculate all foul points that have been charged by the referee at the end of each round in relation to the amount of penalty points, deduct them appropriately from each referee’s score under the ten-point scoring system, and enter the results in the main scorecard. If the bout should end in a knockout or technical knockout, the scorekeeper must enter the exact time of the KO/TKO into the main scorecard. At that time, the scorer must perform the final tallies and turn over the totals to the WKR supervisor, who will verify the accuracy of the results. When required, he will check tiebreaker ballots. The representative will then report the results of the match to the referee and announcer, making sure that the scorekeeper also records score sheets which show the total legal kicks taken by each fighter in Full Contact matches.

8. Announcing the results

After the WKR moderator completes verification of the accuracy of the final scores for each match, the moderator will give the ring announcer the scores on the “Announcer’s Final Score Sheet”. The announcer then informs the audience of the decision made regarding the public address system. The referee will indicate the winner as the announcer gives the name of the winner.

In the event of a tie, the announcer and referee make the appropriate designation. In the event of a knockout, technical knockout, disqualification, or loss, the announcer and referee will officially designate the winner and give the time the match was stopped. In the event of a technical draw, the announcer will give the time the match was stopped and will explain to the audience the nature of the decision.

9. Change the resolution

The decision made upon ending any match is final, and cannot be changed unless the WKR representative at the event, or later the WKR moderator determines that any of the following has occurred:

(a) There was a collusion effect on the outcome of any bout.

B. Compiling the score card shows the judges an error

It will indicate that the official decision was given to the wrong fighter.

c. There was a clear violation of the rules or regulations governing the WKR –

Spells affected the outcome of any match.

If the WKR Superintendent determines that any of the above has occurred in connection with any shift, the decision issued shall be altered as the WKR Supervisor may direct.

10. Protests

All protests against a match decision must be recorded only orally by the protesting fighter and/or his trainer to a WKR representative prior to the end of the event, who will indicate the nature of the protest in his representative’s report. All protests must be received at the appropriate WKR office, in writing and accompanied by all relevant evidence (video tapes, affidavits, etc.), no later than 10 days after the match in question.

All decisions made by the WKR moderator are final.

All parties must understand that the WKR has no power over local sports commissions and cannot change their rules. The standard for review is “obvious” evidence, which would justify a change in the decision, or “obvious” circumstances, which, in the interest of the sport, would justify the change in the decision.

Section 3 – priority of competitors for titles

“Challenge priority” as used herein refers to the order in which competitors must be contacted by the matchmakers and make valid bids for the challenger’s position in a given title fight.

B. The challenger’s priority, subject to any exceptions included in this policy, will be determined by the competitor’s ranking of the most recent WKR Rankings – thus, the competitor’s priority for a world or international title will be determined by the competitor’s ranking in that division in the World Rankings. The priority of the challenger for the Continental Title will follow the competitor’s ranking for that division in the applicable Continental Rankings (or the World Rankings if Continental Rankings are not produced in that jurisdiction). National title priority will follow the national rankings. Regional, state, or provincial title priority will follow the corresponding ratings; or, if such ratings are not produced, by appropriate national ratings.

c. the champion is bound by a mandatory defense (see Article lll, section 1), the mandatory challenger is unavailable or declines a valid offer, and priority will be held by the top five contenders in that section, who must be contacted in order of number. If all of these competitors are unavailable or reject valid offers, priority will pass to the remaining numbered competitors listed in this section, who may be contacted in any order. The top five competitors in the weight divisions directly above will receive equal priority in this stage and under the title division and these competitors may be approached in any order. If these competitors are all unavailable or all valid offers rejected, the matchmaker may now approach any fighter listed in any honorable mention category,

Dr.. If the champion is not bound by a compulsory defense, the contenders in that section and immediately adjacent sections which may be approached in any order shall have priority; and thereafter by fighters listed in any division’s honorable mention category, provided the fighter can achieve the required weight, and is pre-approved of the show by the WKR – the director who has regulatory authority over those ratings and that title.

B. If all such competitors are unavailable or reject valid offers, priority will be given to the remaining numbered competitors in this section, who may be contacted in any order. The top five competitors in adjacent divisions, who may be contacted in any order, will have equal priority. Any competitor in these categories, prior to the offer being made by the matchmaker, must be approved by the WKR – Director with regulatory authority over the title. c- Fighters included in the categories mentioned will not normally be approved to fight for the vacant titles.

Section 6 – Title fights between equal champions
A world, intercontinental, continental or national champion may fight another champion from a different division with an equal title only with the express special permission of the WKR – the manager who has regulatory power over that title. If awarded, the WKR will determine—the special procedures that will govern the fight, the weight that will be mandatory for each fighter, the officials that will be used, and all other aspects that the WKR determines—must be different from the normal procedures.

Article All – Obligations of Heroes

Section 1 – Mandatory and non-mandatory defenses

A: The WKR may, at any time, request that the champion’s next fight be a mandatory defense. If this is the case, the champion’s next fight shall be a title defense, and the challenger shall be a mandatory challenger as chosen by WKR -. This mandatory competitor is usually the number one competitor in the champion’s division. If the mandatory competitor proves unavailable or declines a valid competitor’s offer (see Article 2, Section 4), the matchmaker may secure a competitor pursuant to the formula listed in Article 2, Section 3(c).

B. If a WKR – does not require a mandatory defense, the champion may fight any eligible competitor pursuant to the formula listed in Rule 2, Section 3(d): or fight without a title if approved by the WKR – pursuant to subsection d of this section

World Champions must have at least one mandatory defense each year, but under normal circumstances no more than two would be required. The Intercontinental, Continental, and National champions must have at least two mandatory defenses each year, but under normal circumstances no more than three would be required. Titles lower than the national titles must have mandatory defenses at the discretion of the WKR—the director with regulatory authority over the title, subject to approval by the next higher WKR office.

A World, Continental or Continental Champion, who has not defended a WKR title within the previous six (6) months will be declared an inactive champion. The address becomes vacant.

Continental, National, Regional, State and Provincial Champions must also be declared inactive and the title becomes vacant if they do not defend their titles within six (6) months.

An inactive hero who succeeds in a mandatory defense will regain his active status.

(1) Champions may only fight in non-title fights with WKR’s express agreement with the regulatory authority for that title. Such non-title fights, if approved, may not be against a numbered competitor in the champion’s division, or a top-five competitor in the adjacent division. If the champion in question is a world champion, then the non-title bout must be at least eight rounds long.

(ii) a loss by a champion in a non-title fight will result in his next fight being a mandatory defense, regardless of how many mandatory defenses the champion had during the previous year; A fighter who loses to a mandatory challenger may be considered for the next mandatory defense.

Section 2 – Valid Offers, Champions

For the purposes of the title defense policy, a champion’s valid bid is judged on individual merit and position, with respect to geography, status, and event size.
SECTION 3 – LOSS OF TITLE

a. WKR may declare champions – they forfeit their title when one or more of the following occurs:

(1) The champion is placed in an inactive state by the WKR –
