Ten Count definition
Ten Count means a count of ten (10) given by the Referee to a Contestant who has suffered a Knock-down. A Ten Count starts at the time the Contestant is Down and shall continue to the count of ten (10), unless the Contestant returns to a non-Down position and is in the opinion of the Referee fit to continue the bout before the Referee reaches the count of ten (10). Each count one (1) through ten (10) should be approximately one (1) second in length, but may be fractionally longer or shorter depending on the Referee and circumstances.
