Accidental/self inflicted injury, the Referee has the discretion of allowing up to 3 minutes for recovery.

Accidental injury (caused by the opponent).
The Referee must first determine that the injury is genuine, and allow reasonable time for the injured player to recover, having regard for the schedule of the competition. At this point the injured player must resume play or concede the match. All points won are retained by the injured player. If both players agree the match may be replayed.

It is recommended a by-law be included in all tournament conditions covering "injury time", say, stating a period of 10 - 15 minutes be allowed before play resumes.

Blood
Under no circumstances shall a player resume play with:

visible bleeding, or

an open wound, or

blood stained clothing
If the player resumes play and bleeding recommences, no more recovery time is allowed. How to add images to Members' Forum posts and replies here...
