HOW TO PLAY
1

Two wrestlers face off and grip each other's jacket or arms at the shoulders to begin the match.

2

Each wrestler tries to use grips, trips, and leverage to unbalance the other without striking or grabbing the legs in most rulesets.

3

A match ends the instant any part of an opponent's body other than the feet touches the ground.

4

There is no ring boundary or weight class in the traditional format, so matches can range widely across the open field.

5

The winning wrestler often performs a small celebratory gesture before the next pair steps up in the tournament bracket.
