What is the rule on biting?

Ex. Wrestler A gets bit by wrestler B. Wrestler A shows the ref at a break in action. Clearly teeth marks on both sides of wrestler A's finger. Ref looks at wrestler A's finger; trail ref looks at it. They show wrestler B's coach, but not wrestler A. B's coach does not say anything, wrestlers continue to wrestle. A's coach then approaches to see why he was not informed of the stoppage sotuation. After seeing the bite he asked about disqualification. The lead ref replies "no dq I did not see the bite happen.". How should this be handled?

If there was clearly bite marks both top and bottom it should have been a DQ. Is it possible the bite marks were tough to see and thus ref couldn't tell there were marks. Lesson learned have kid say something right away.

Completely disagree with the lack of movement in this rule. Guys runs a hard cross face and can show teeth marks on top and bottom it is automatically a DQ? Disagree with that. A person cannot retract their teeth- should be some latitude here.


Also, ref does not have to see the bite. I saw a guys DQed after the match was over from a bite in the middle of the match.
