Competitor Responsibilities

Competitor Responsibilities

It is the responsibility of the competitor to know the rules and be ready for competition when called to do so.  He/she must be suitably attired, weighed-in and at the appropriate ring when competition begins.  Three calls will be made    for competition at ringside.  If the competitor is not at his/her ring ready to compete when competition begins, he/she will not be able to compete (see delay of time rule).  If a competitor leaves the ring after the competition begins and is not present when his/her name is called to compete, his/her name will be called three times at ringside.  If he/she is still not present to compete, he/she will be disqualified (see delay of time rule).
