This event will be run with respect and sportsmanship. Anyone not adhering to this strict code of conduct will be asked to leave or will forfeit their match. You will treat your fellow competitors, referee and staff as professionals and responsible competitors.

Coaches

As hard as we try and as much effort as we put forth errors are bound to occur. The coaches will refrain from distracting comments to the referee and the arguing of points. It is at the referee discretion that you are allowed to remain in the coaches corner. You are NOT allowed to get on the mat or travel around the mat following competitors. There is one coach allowed for each competitor on the mat. If you are not the designated coach you must remain either in the stands or behind the scorers table. Failure to do so can result in the referee awarding points to the other competitor.

If you are disrespectful to the referee your competitor can be penalized by awarding points to the other competitor or he/she might be forced to forfeit due to your conduct. Act as a professional!

Rules and weight classes for the Takedown Challenge

Rules

This is a new event and is designed with the spectator in mind. The goal is to achieve as many takedowns in a specified period of time as possible. You are not to stall. If you pick a person up above your waist you must make contact with the ground before your opponent. Once a takedown is achieved you will be restarted from the point at which they stand you up. Time will not be stopped. The person scoring the most points at the end of the specified period of time will be declared the winner. If the score is tied at the end of regulation there will be a 1 minute sudden death overtime and if the 1 minute expires the referee will declare a winner based on aggressiveness.
