Advantage Wrestling Rules
Advantage Wrestling has a format that will have no action from the neutral position. The match will consist of two periods each two minutes long. Before the start of the match the disk is flipped and the winner picks top, bottom, or defers. If the winner picks defer, the other wrestler must take top or bottom. All scoring is the same as scholastic wrestling. The only difference from folkstyle rules is when an escape occurs the match is stopped. At that time the wrestler earning the escape can pick top or bottom. Note that it is possible the same wrestler could start on the top or bottom for both periods. Overtime will just be one 30 second period. The disk will be flipped and the winner picks top or bottom. The first wrestler to score wins. If a near fall occurs the top wrestler will be allowed to work for a fall. If no one scores in the 30 seconds the top wrestler will be awarded one point and win the match. Tech fall will occur when a 10 point difference has been obtained.

Takedown Wrestling Rules
Takedown Wrestling has a format that will have no action from the referee’s position. The match will consist of two periods each two minutes long both starting from the neutral position. All scoring is the same as folkstyle wrestling. The only difference from folkstyle rules is when a takedown occurs the match is stopped, two points for the takedown is awarded, and the match is restarted as soon as both wrestlers are standing and facing each other. If a takedown occurs that puts the other wrestler directly on his back for two seconds, two points will be awarded for the takedown and two points awarded for the near fall, and the match is restarted as soon as both wrestlers are standing and facing each other. Note that a fall cannot occur. Overtime is one untimed period with the first wrestler to score winning. Stalling is to be called just like it is for regulation in a folkstyle match. Tech falls will occur when a 10 point difference has been obtained.
