523 CMR 15.07
Fouls: Intentional
(1) If the referee determines that a contest or exhibition may not continue because of an injury caused
by an intentional foul, the unarmed combatant who committed the intentional foul loses by
disqualification.
(2) If the referee determines that a contest or exhibition may continue despite an injury caused by an
intentional foul, the referee shall immediately inform the Commission’s representative and the judges
and shall deduct two points from the score of the unarmed combatant who committed the intentional
foul.
(3) If an injury caused by an intentional foul results in the contest or exhibition being stopped in a later
round:
(a) The injured unarmed combatant wins by technical decision, if they are ahead on the
scorecards; or
(b) The contest or exhibition must be declared a technical draw, if the injured unarmed combatant
is behind or even on the scorecards.
(4) If an unarmed combatant injures themselves while attempting to foul his or her opponent, the
referee shall not take any action in their favor and the injury must be treated the same as an injury
produced by a fair blow.
