Section 12.06.195. Deduction of points for fouls.

	(a)  If a contestant fouls his or her opponent during a contest, the referee may penalize the contestant by deducting points from his or her score, regardless of whether the foul was intentional. The referee may determine the number of points to be deducted in each instance, and shall base the determination on the severity of the foul and its effect upon the opponent.  
	(b)  If the referee determines that it is necessary to deduct points because of a foul, the referee shall warn the offender of the penalty to be assessed.  
	(c)  The referee shall, at the end of each round, notify the judges and both contestants of the number of points, if any, to be deducted from the score of the contestants. The judges shall then deduct these points.  
	(d)  Points to be deducted for a foul must be deducted in the round in which the foul occurred, and may not be deducted from the score of a subsequent round.  
	(e)  If a contestant fouls persistently and the referee has repeatedly cautioned the contestant, the referee shall report the contestant to the commission.  
	(f)  A contestant may not be declared the winner of a contest on the basis of a claim that his or her opponent committed a foul by hitting below the belt. If a contestant falls to the floor of the ring or otherwise indicates that he or she is unwilling to continue because of a claim of a low blow, the contest must be declared a technical knockout in favor of the contestant who is willing to continue.
