LAC 46:XI.513. Leaving the Ring

A. All wrestling must take place within the ropes and no wrestler shall deliberately leave the enclosed ring during the course of a bout nor shall any wrestler leave the ring in pursuit of another wrestler. B. If a contestant crawls through the ropes or out of the ring and refuses to return at the count of ten by the referee, said contestant will be disqualified. C. Wrestlers deliberately throwing opponents out of the ring are guilty of a foul and the referee may therefore award the exhibition to the fouled wrestler if the fouled wrestler cannot continue. D. Any wrestler who deliberately leaves the enclosed ring during the course of an exhibition, and if the offense is repeated after once given warnings by the referee, the wrestler will be disqualified. E. A wrestler who accidently is forced from the ring must return to the ring by the count of 10 by the referee or be disqualified;
