The referee is the key to safety in the boxing ring. They are the closest to the action and will most likely be able to perceive quickly if a boxer is hurt. The referee will adhere to all of the items listed in “Rule 10” of the Intramural Boxing Manual, plus notes for referees. It must be emphasized that the rules are outlined are absolute. In no way will referees allow cadets to deviate from these rules. Referees should be cadets who are ineligible to box in intramurals due to their experience level and can be underclassmen. Underclassmen that serve as referees will receive IM credit. All referees will be trained and certified by the Director of Fourth ClassBoxing. Referees will adhere to the following:
a. The referee will stop the bout at any time he feels that a boxer can no longer
adequately defend himself. The boxer does not have to be knocked down for the referee to stop the match. It is strictly a judgment factor and the referee may stop the match at any time. Referees are encouraged to seek assistance from the DPE trainers and DPE Sport educators at ringside when determining if a ROC should be stopped.
b. The referee will ask for advice from the DPE Sport Educator if there is a question concerning any aspect of a ROC that may affect the safety of the participants.
