1. Each contestant may have a maximum of three cornerpersons, with one of the cornerpersons designated as the chief cornerperson.

2. One cornerperson is allowed inside the ring at the end of each round and the others, if any, shall stay on the apron. The cornerperson shall clear all items from the ring platform and leave the ring by the start of the next round.
