Competition system
The competition system is according to the rules and regulation of UWW. The competitions take
place by direct elimination system with an ideal number of wrestlers, i.e. 4, 8, 16, 32, etc. If there is no ideal number of wrestlers in a category, qualification matches will be organized.
Pairing is made in the order of the numbers drawn at random. All wrestlers who lost against both
finalists will have repechage matches. There are two separated groups of repechage: one group of wrestlers who lost against the finalist of the upper part of the bracket, and another group of
wrestlers who lost against the finalist from the bottom part of the bracket. The repechage matches begin with wrestlers who lost in the first round including in qualification matches to obtain the ideal number against one of the two finalists up to the losers in the semi-finals by direct elimination. The winners of the two repechage groups will receive each the bronze medal.
If less than 6 wrestlers are registered in one weight category, one group will be established and
all wrestlers will compete against each other. If there are 6 or 7 athletes in one weight category, the competition starts with a pool phase with two groups. All wrestler from each group will compete against all the other wrestlers of their group (the Nordic tournament system is used as the ranking criterion within each group).
Ranking within the groups is used to determine the pairings for the semi-finals.
