Who reschedules a bout after an interruption such as lights going out?

• A. Supervisor
• B. Referee
• C. Ring Announcer
• D. Timekeeper

Answer: (A)

When an interruption like lights going out happens, the person who handles rescheduling is the supervisor. The supervisor has overall responsibility for the event, coordinating with the venue and any governing commission to determine whether to pause, resume, or postpone the bout and to set a new time if needed. The referee can stop the action and clear the ring, but they don’t decide on new dates or times. The ring announcer and timekeeper manage ring announcements and the clock during the bout, not the scheduling. So rescheduling after an interruption falls to the supervisor.
