HOW TO PLAY
1

Two competitors face each other and grip each other's jacket or belt at the shoulders before the match begins.

2

On the signal, each wrestler tries to throw their opponent off balance and onto their back using only upper-body grips, without striking or grabbing legs.

3

A clean throw that lands the opponent flat on their back scores an immediate win; smaller throws earn partial points.

4

Stepping outside the marked circle or attacking below the belt results in a caution or point penalty.

5

The match ends when one wrestler scores a full point throw, or when the time limit expires with the higher score declared winner.
