Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 4, § 518 - Unintentional Fouling
(a)
When a bout is interrupted due to an injury caused by an unintentional foul,
the referee, in consultation with the ringside physician, shall determine
whether the fighter who has been fouled can continue or not. If the referee
sees, or if after consultation with the judges, determines that a fighter is
unintentionally fouled and if the fighter's chance of winning has not been
seriously jeopardized as a result of a foul, the referee may order the bout
continued after a reasonable interval, not to exceed 5 minutes.
(b) If the referee and/or the ringside
physician determines that the bout may not continue because of an injury
suffered as the result of an unintentional foul or because of an injury
inflicted by an unintentional foul which later becomes aggravated by fair
blows, the bout shall be declared a draw, if according to the score cards, the
bout was determined to be a draw at the time the foul occurred. If, according
to the score cards, the fighter committing the foul was winning prior to the
foul, the bout shall be declared a technical draw. If, according to the score
cards, the fighter being fouled was winning prior to the foul, then that
fighter shall be declared the winner.
(c) When an unintentional foul causes the
bout to be interrupted for the purpose of allowing the injured fighter time to
recover, the referee shall penalize the fighter guilty of the foul one or more
points.
