S.D. Admin. R. 20:81:05:17
A referee shall warn a contestant if the referee believes the contestant is stalling or faking. If, after a proper warning, the referee determines the contestant is continuing to stall or fake, the referee shall stop the contest at the end of the round. If the referee determines that either or both contestants are stalling or faking, or if a contestant refuses to fight, the contest shall be terminated and announced as a no contest and the contestant or contestants in violation shall forfeit their pay as provided for in this Chapter.
A contestant who falls down without being struck or otherwise actively participating in the contest must immediately be examined by the physician. After conferring with the physician, the referee may disqualify the contestant and the contestant may be required to forfeit pay.
