• K-6^th grade bouts will be (3) one-minute periods.
• 7^th and 8^th grade bouts will be (3) one minute thirty seconds periods
• If wrestlers should go out-of-bounds, or if there is a lack of mat activity, they will be brought back to a neutral starting position.
• We will be using the college out-of-bounds rule. Wrestling will continue until all parts of both wrestlers are out of bounds, OR for the safety of the wrestlers.
• 12-point technical fall.
• If the score is tied at the end of the 3 periods, there will be a 30-second sudden death ride-out period. The person who scored the first point in the match picks top or bottom.  If no point was scored during the match the referee will conduct a coin flip to determine who picks.

• A maximum of two people will be permitted in each wrestler’s corner.
• Headgears are encouraged, but not required.
• Questioning the official’s judgment, 1st offense – warning, 2nd offense – one match point, 3rd time – the coach is out of the tournament.
