A competitor who has been wrestled, pushed, or has fallen through the ropes
during a bout may be helped back into the ring by any person, and the referee

apron outside the ropes, the competitor shall enter the ring immediately, and
may either resume the bout or take a count.

competitor stall for time outside the ropes, the referee shall start the count
without waiting for the competitor to re-enter the ring.
(2) When a competitor has fallen through the
ropes, the competitor's opponent shall retire to the farthest neutral corner of
the ring and stay there until ordered to continue the bout by the
referee.
(3) A competitor may be
penalized for deliberately wrestling or throwing an opponent from the ring or
striking a blow when the opponent is partially out of the ring and prevented by
the ropes from assuming a position of defense.
