Competition Rules

Luck of Draw

Double-elimination tournament; you must lose twice – “A” side / “B” side format.

  • You have 1 minute to get to the table; failure to do so results in a loss.
  • Must show up to the table ready to compete: arms must be bare from the hand to 4″ above the elbow; no watches, rings, or support bandages, also no hats at the table
  • Foot rule: you may wrap your legs around the table legs or lift both feet off the floor, however you may not intentionally kick your opponent.

When you get to the table you must:

  1. Grab the peg at the side.
  2. Place your elbow on the pad before the grip is taken.
  3. Take your grip. You can grip as high or as low as you wish as long as the top thumb knuckle is showing on both hands.
  4. Shoulders must be square with the table and the referee must be able to pass his fist between the shoulder and the grip before the match starts. After “Go” you can move your shoulders.
  5. The wrists must be straight, still and in the center of the table. Pressure may be applied as long as the grip does not deviate from centre.
  6. If a satisfactory grip cannot be achieved within one minute then a referee’s grip will be applied.
  7. The start will be a “Ready-Go”.

WARNINGS

  • An early start letting go of the peg during the match without gaining an advantage.

FOULS

  • Elbow losing contact with the pad
  • Intentionally forcing your opponent’s elbow off the pad
  • Shoulder either touching or across centre of the table
  • Causing a slip-out
