Advance Sign-up is Required<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Competition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beach Wrestling is a Tier Four<\/a> event. Advanced sign-up is required<\/a>. Beach Wrestling is a one-day-only competition; no provision will be made for class conflict, Corps Squad practice, etc. The event may require unique athletic skills or physical fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All students are eligible to play. The desired roster size is three wrestlers per company. Varsity wrestlers who have been on Corps Squad for 21 or more days this academic year are not eligible to compete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per the published schedule, competitors will report to Deas Hall for weigh-ins, which will be conducted by a designee of the Director of Intramurals. Competitors must be clothed for weigh-ins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrestlers will be assigned to an appropriate class after all competitors have weighed in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants with an open wound or infectious skin condition, e.g., impetigo, scabies, herpes, ringworm, may not participate. Current knowledge indicates that bacterial, parasitic, viral, and fungal infections may be transmitted by skin-to-skin contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start time is forfeit time; there is no grace period for wrestlers arriving late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrestlers must be barefoot and wear either a PT uniform (without a belt) or PT shorts and a rash guard. It is recommended that a mouthpiece be worn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each match will be no longer than three minutes. The match winner is the one who scores three points first or has the highest score at the end of three minutes. If there is a tie at the end of the match, the wrestler who scored the last point wins. If the match is tied 0-0, the lightest wrestler wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrestlers begin each match in the neutral position and reset to standing after a scoring action. There is no ground fighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The referee will award points as described:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scoring Opportunities<\/th>Points Awarded<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Push Out<\/td>1<\/td><\/tr>
Takedown<\/td>2<\/td><\/tr>
Opponent receives a caution<\/td>1<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Scoring Opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Push Out<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A push-out is awarded when a wrestler pushes the opponent out of the ring while maintaining control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takedown<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A takedown is awarded when a wrestler brings any part of the opponent\u2019s torso, back, or shoulder blades into contact with the mat and establishes clear, immediate control. The downed wrestler need not be pinned; they only need to be briefly controlled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prohibitions and Match Stoppage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Overhead throws and suplexes are not permitted. In addition, an opponent may not be thrown from a height above hip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The referee will stop the match and call for injury time if a wrestler is temporarily injured due to an incidental blow (i.e., eye poke, head collision, etc.). Injury\/blood time per match cannot exceed two minutes per athlete; otherwise, the athlete is disqualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsportsmanlike conduct, e.g., disrespectfully addressing an official, illegal throws, profanity, taunting, using insulting or vulgar language or gestures, contact with an official, or fighting, results in disqualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
