- Not encourage or incite spectators by words or signs while in the Field of Play.
- Not leave their designated area, touch the ring, or clap, as this might interfere with the opponent.
- Not use cameras or communication devices (phones, tablets, headsets, recording devices) in the Field of Play.
- Not enter the ring except during the 1-minute rest period, unless the referee directs them to.
Coaches are not allowed in the weigh-in area. In Funbox bouts coaches may not coach from the corner.
