If, within one minute, they are ready to compete, he/she will receive a kyong-go (-1/2) penalty and the match will begin.
If the competitor cannot comply within one minute, they will be given an additional one minute. If they are ready at the end of the second minute, they will receive a gam-jeom penalty (-1) and the match will begin.

75. On a Head Kick: Any referee or coach may ask for confirmation of the score.
On a Technique to the Body: Can only be questioned if it is obvious that only one competitor attacked and the score goes up for the other competitor.
In either situation, the referee declares Shi-gan (time-out) to stop the contest and confers with the corner judges. The referee must then publicize a resolution.
This also applies to situations where the referee makes an error in counting (such as beginning an 8-count on a head kick during an MTA competition, no 8 counts in MTA competition).
76. If the score is tied at the end of match time, the competitors will automatically go into a Over Time (OT) round.
The referee directs the competitors to their coaches as in the previous rounds.
The scoreboard is reset to zero.
When the match is resumed, the first point scored OR first full point deduction scored determines winner.
If the winner is not determined based on scoring during the OT round, the judges and referee will decide the winner based on superiority. Their decision will be based on the OT round only.

82. If an athlete has received a total of 3 full points in deductions, regardless of the score, the match will be ended and the other competitor will be declared the winner

Verbal warnings can only be given for kyong-go infractions.
88. Penalties are divided into kyong-go (half-point) and gam-jeom (full-point) deductions.
Two kyong-go penalties result in the deduction of one point; however, the last odd kyong-go is not counted and does not affect the final score.

If the player is kicked out and no point goes up then the player who left the ring gets a Kyong-go.
