Referees

Medical Examination

A medical examination is called only under the authority of the referee. The referee must ensure that only a properly accredited medical attendant is allowed onto the competition area. During the time out, the judges should approach the referee since, as a team, they are responsible for ensuring that the authorized medical attendant is acting within rules. Once the medical attendant is at the side of the competitor, the referee must determine whether the injury was the result of a prohibited act or accidental and act accordingly.
