Competition safety rules

The attendance of a doctor is recommended and a first aid team is compulsory.

In the interest of health and safety of contestants at Kickboxing events the doctor / first -aid team has the following responsibilities:

A medical examination in Semicontact is recommended by the association, also an ambulance.

Contestants may only participate if they are completely healthy. Upon suspicion of illness a contestant must be examined by the doctor who will decide whether that contestant may participate or not.

The head referee will not permit any contestant with a head or leg bandage or anyone with a plaster on their head, arms or legs to compete. Eyeglasses are forbidden, soft contact-lenses are possible but at the fighters own risk.

No local anaesthetics may be administrated immediately before or during a contest.

During any competition the doctor must remain at the fighting area near the timekeeper. Should the doctor not be present, the fight has to be discontinued until he returns.

The doctor / first - aid team may not leave the venue of a competition until the last contest has finished and after he has assured himself that no further medical attention is required.

Doctor / first - aid team decisions are in any case final decisions, and there can be no protest.
