Mark a circular wrestling pit filled with soft sand to cushion falls.

Two competitors grip each other by the arms or waist at the center of the pit.

Each wrestler tries to force any part of their opponent's body other than the feet to touch the ground.

Pushing an opponent entirely outside the ring also ends the bout in the pusher's favor.

A neutral judge calls the fall and the winner advances to face the next challenger in a tournament bracket.
