The role of the referee Referees have the following roles Gives instructions to both Boxing boxer s before the fight Determines when to start or stop a count when a fighter is down Determines when a foul is so egregious that a warning should be given or points taken away Signal when the round is over Determines when one fighter s health will be endangered by more blows and thus, stops the fight. In the past, referees were involved in judge judging the fight. However, that role has been progressively replaced by a panel of judges, except for domestic fights in some countries. Attire Normally, a white or blue Oxford shirt is worn, as well as black slacks, black leather shoes and a black bow tie. Latex gloves are sometimes worn for sanitary reasons. For professional matches a patch is usually worn on the left breast bearing the insignia of the organization sanctioning the fight. The referee may also wear a patch on his left sleeve bearing the flag of his home country. This is especially common in matches between fighters from two different countries.

Unreferenced date December 2009 In law , a special referee acts as a judge on matters of fact only. Explanation In many instances, the interpretation of the specific statute s or case law relevant to a dispute is absolutely clear. The uncertainty between the party law parties lies in the facts. Hence, a special referee is an expert in the factual topic, whether it be shipping, civil engineering, accounting, etc. He or she hears evidence and makes factual findings which bind the parties. This will usually be sufficient for the parties to resolve the dispute since the law can now be applied. If the parties still cannot agree, they may initiate proceedings for arbitration or litigation but, on an inter partes basis, the facts are conclusively determined by the Judgment law judgment of the special referee and only questions of law may be argued before the new forum. Thus, the use of a special referee provides a relatively swift and cost effective mechanism for dispute resolution if only because the procedure is less formal than in a court and the referee s existing expertise reduces the need to continually explain complex technical and factual matters to a judge who has only legal expertise. Scope The parties may anticipate the possibility of a dispute and nominate a special referee as the most appropriate form of dispute resolution see forum selection clause .

Unreferenced date January 2008 A match referee is an official appointed to oversee professional cricket matches. Match referees for Test cricket Test matches and One Day International s are appointed by the International Cricket Council ICC . Most matches below international level do not have a referee. A match referee remains off the field of play at all times during the actual play of the game, observing events from a spectator area. The referee makes no decisions of any relevance to the play or result of the game such decisions are the sole responsibility of the appointed umpire cricket umpire s. The match referee s responsibility is to ensure that the ICC Cricket Code of Conduct is upheld during the game, to assess any breaches of the Code, and to hand out penalties for any breaches. Following every game, the match referee composes and submits a match report to the ICC, noting any events or actions by players or umpires that may be a concern in terms of the Code of Conduct or the Laws of Cricket . Match referees are frequently former cricket players who have had distinguished careers on the field. In recent years the law regarding the unlawful delivery of the cricket ball by a bowler cricket bowler because of straightening of the arm at the elbow has been interpreted as the domain of the match referee and a system of reports to the ICC, rather than a matter for the umpires to decide and call on the field as a no ball at each incidence. This de facto migration of responsibility has caused controversy, with some commentators claiming it has eroded the official support and authority owed to the umpires.

A Referee in Bankruptcy or Bankruptcy Referee is an federal official with quasi judicial powers, appointed by a United States district court to administer bankruptcy proceedings. The office was first created by the Bankruptcy Act of 1898 , and was substantially altered by the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 , which created separate United States bankruptcy court s with permanently assigned judge s. History The Bankruptcy Act of 1898 30 Stat. 544 established the position of bankruptcy referee to assist in expeditiously transacting the bankruptcy business . The act specified that referees were to be appointed by the district court for a term of two years, although they could be removed from office or have their jurisdiction over a particular case revoked at any time. The courts could appoint the referees in such numbers as may be necessary . The fees paid by petitioners in bankruptcy proceedings were used to compensate the referees. All three earlier, short lived acts providing for bankruptcy jurisdiction in the federal courts had made provision for the appointment of officers to assist in the administration of bankruptcy cases. The act of 1800 2 Stat. 19, repealed in 1803 authorized district judges to appoint commissioners with various powers to declare a person a bankrupt, to take possession of a bankrupt s estate, and to assign the bankrupt s property. The next bankruptcy act, in 1841 5 Stat. 440, repealed in 1843 , provided for the appointment of commissioners to receive proof of debts and carry out other administrative duties related to bankruptcy cases. The act 14 Stat. 517 ... each referee a combination of special master and estate administrator until the late 1930s, when Congress ... rules that employed the term bankruptcy judge interchangeably with referee .

unref date June 2009 A disqualification abbreviated DQ is a term used when a bout is stopped short of knockout or judges decision because, intentionally, one or both contestants have repeatedly or flagrantly fouled an opponent or violated other rules. The disqualified boxer automatically loses the bout to the opponent. If both are disqualified, termed a double disqualification the result is usually declared a No contest boxing no contest regardless of round. Most disqualifications happen for repeated intentional fouling such as headbutting, low blows, rabbit punches, biting and the like. Typically, a referee will first verbally warn offenders or direct a point deduction first before disqualifying a boxer. However, contestants may be disqualified without warning for particularly egregious conduct such, as kicking a downed opponent or using loaded gloves. Secondly, violation of other rules by a fighter s corner, such as cornermen entering the ring or striking the opponent can result in disqualification even though such behavior is not strictly under the fighter s control. Disqualification occurs solely at the referee s discretion and no fouled contestant is automatically entitled to such a result. Examples A famous DQ in boxing occurred in the 1997 Holyfield Tyson II match, when Mike Tyson was disqualified in the 3rd round for repeatedly biting Evander Holyfield s ear.

Unreferenced date October 2007 No contest is a technical term used in the sport of boxing , to describe a fight which ends for reasons outside the fighters hands. The various rules that dictate whether a fight should be called a no contest, a disqualification boxing disqualification , or a knockout differ between countries and boxing organizations. In boxing In the 1800s and early parts of the 1900s, many countries and some parts of the United States officially banned boxing, and occasionally the police usually when they felt their bribes were insufficient would step in to stop the unlawful bouts which, although unlawful, were still sanctioned by regional boxing commissions . Since boxing is now lawful almost everywhere in the world, the number of fights called no contest has decreased dramatically since the beginnings of the 20th century. Refereeboxing Referees were also known to stop bouts during this period, when they felt bouts were too slow due to lack of aggression from one or both boxers. In the modern game, rules in the United States now dictate that any bout which ends prior to the completion of the 4th round, due to an accidental headbutt , is to be declared a no contest. Prior to this, accidental headbutt stoppages had been ruled a technical draw. Most other no contests in boxing occur when unusual circumstances, which would include instances such as a bout being rained out, ring falling apart, or an unexpected injury caused by something outside of the boxer s control ... was ruled a no contest when Hopkins was injured after he was accidentally pushed out of the ring by referee ...
