OAR 230-080-0490: Intentional Fouling

(1) If the referee determines that a bout may not continue because of an injury caused by an intentional foul, the competitor who committed the intentional foul loses by disqualification. The competitor’s purse, if applicable, may be withheld from payment. The disposition of the purse, civil penalty or license action to be imposed upon the competitor shall be determined by action of the superintendent under ORS 463.113(3) and ORS 463.185. (2) If the referee determines that a bout may continue despite an injury caused by an intentional foul, the referee shall immediately inform an authorized representative of the superintendent and judges of any point deductions from the score of the competitor who committed the intentional foul. (3) If an injury caused by an intentional foul results in the bout being stopped in a later round: (a) The injured competitor wins by technical decision, if said competitor was ahead in the scorecards; or (b) The bout must be declared a technical draw, if the injured competitor is behind or even in the scorecards. (4) If a competitor injures themselves while attempting to foul their opponent, the referee shall not take any action in their favor and the injury must be treated the same as any injury produced by a fair blow.
