Or. Admin. Code § 230-140-0510 - Time Consideration for Fouls
(1) Low Blow and Eye Poke Foul: A competitor
who has been struck with a low blow or poked in the eye is allowed up to five
minutes to recover from the foul as long as in the opinion of medical
personnel, the competitor may continue on in the bout. If the competitor is
able to continue before the five minutes of time has expired, the referee shall
as soon as practical restart the bout. If the competitor goes over the five (5)
minute time allotment the bout cannot be restarted and the bout must come to an
end with the outcome determined by the round and time in which the fight was
stopped.
(2) During an injury
timeout due to an eye poke, the referee may provide the fouled competitor with
a damp cloth to apply to their eye for the duration of the timeout. No
substances other than water may be applied to the cloth, nor may the eye be
irrigated.
(3) Non-low Blow or Eye
Poke Foul:
(a) If a bout is stopped because
of an accidental foul, the referee shall determine whether the competitor has
been fouled can continue or not. If the competitors' chance of winning has not
been seriously jeopardized as a result of the foul and if the foul did not
involve a concussive impact to the head of the competitor who has been fouled,
the referee may order the bout continued after a recuperative interval of not
more than five (5) minutes. Immediately after separating the competitors, the
referee shall inform an authorized representative of the superintendent of his
determination that the foul was accidental.
(b) If a competitor is fouled by a blow that
the referee deems illegal, the referee should stop the action and call for
time. The referee may take the injured competitor to medical personnel and have
them examine and determine the competitor's ability to return to the bout.
Medical Personnel has up to five (5) minutes to make their determination. If
the competitor is able to continue the bout, the referee shall as soon as
practical restart the bout. However, unlike the low blow foul and eye poke
fouls, the competitor does not have up to five (5) minutes to use at their
discretion.
(c) For fouls other
than a low blow or eye poke, the fouled competitor is not guaranteed five (5)
minutes for recovery time. If deemed not fit to continue by the referee or
Medical Personnel but some of the five-minute foul time is still remaining, the
competitor cannot avail themselves of the remaining time;
(d) If the referee stops the bout and employs
the use of medical personnel, the examination shall not exceed five (5)
minutes. If five (5) minutes is exceeded, the bout cannot be re-started and the
bout must end.
