When a Competitor is Deemed Down


A competitor shall be deemed to be “down” when the competitor’s body touches the mat with anything other than the soles of the feet as the result of a legal, damaging strike – or is in a defenseless position, grabbing the opponent, or hanging on or over the ropes. The referee will have sole discretion in determining a knockdown versus a slip.
