If one man fails to come to the scratch in the ten seconds allowed, it shall be in the power of the referee to give his award in favour of the other man. # A man hanging on the ropes in a helpless state, with his toes off the ground, shall be considered down. # No seconds or any other person to be allowed in the ring during the rounds. # Should the contest be stopped by any unavoidable interference, the referee (is) to name the time and place as soon as possible for finishing the contest, to that the match can be won and lost, unless the backers of the men agree to draw the stakes. # The gloves to be fair-sized boxing gloves of the best quality and new. # Should a glove burst, or come off, it must be replaced to the referee's satisfaction. # A man on one knee is considered down, and if struck is entitled to the stakes. # No shoes or boots with springs allowed. # The contest in all other respects to be governed by the revised rules of the London Prize Ring.

The correct spelling is 'rules'.
The correct spelling of the word is discipline (order, system of rules, or punishment).
The Marquess of Queensberry rules is a code of generally accepted rules in the sport of boxing. They were named so because John Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry publicly endorsed the code.[1] The code of rules on which modern boxing is based, the Queensberry rules were the first to mention gloves in boxing.[2] The Queensberry rules are intended for use in both professional and amateur boxing matches, thus separating it from the less popular American Fair Play Rules, which were strictly intended for amateur matches. In popular culture the term is sometimes used to refer to a sense of sportsmanship and fair play.
