Utah Admin. Code R457-1-801 - Martial Arts Contests and Exhibitions
(1) All
full-contact martial arts are forms of unarmed combat. Therefore, the Pete
Suazo Utah Athletic Commission Act, Title 9, Chapter 23, and Rule R457-1 apply
to contests or exhibitions of such martial arts, including provisions
pertaining to licenses, fees, stopping contests, impounding purses, testing
requirements for contestants, and adjudicative proceedings. For purposes of
identification, a contestant in a martial arts contest or exhibition shall
provide any form of identification that contains a photograph of the
contestant, such as a state driver's license, passport, or student
identification card.
(2) Upon
requesting the Commission's approval of a contest or exhibition of a martial
art in this state, the sponsoring organization or promoter may submit the
official rules for the particular art to the Commission and request the
Commission to apply the official rules in the contest or exhibition.
(3) The Commission may not approve the
official rules of the particular art and may not allow the contest or
exhibition to be held if the official rules are inconsistent, in any way, with
the purpose of the Pete Suazo Utah Athletic Commission Act, Title 9, Chapter
23, or with the rule adopted by the Commission for the administration of that
Act, Rule R457-1.
(4) A Contestant
may not compete in more than one contest every six days unless otherwise
cleared by a ringside physician and pending Commission approval.
