During the first round of the bout the lights go out and the bout is terminated and will have to be rescheduled by supervisor preferably within the same __________.

• A. Day
• B. Week
• C. Month
• D. Year

Answer: (A)

When a bout is halted by an unforeseen issue like lights going out, the priority is to finish the contest as soon as feasible while keeping the event running smoothly. Rescheduling within the same day preserves the flow of the competition, keeps rest and recovery times consistent for both fighters, and avoids cascading scheduling problems for officials, venue, and other bouts. Extending the completion to a later day, week, month, or year would create fairness and logistical issues, such as differing rest periods, eligibility concerns, and crowd management, making it impractical. So the bout is rescheduled within the same day.
