Teammates must be in the same weight class and would wrestle other teams in that same weight class. Example: 2 - 84lb weight class wrestlers would make up one team and would wrestle only, other teams of 2 - 84lb weight class wrestlers

1. Teammates cannot have both placed in the OAC Jr. High or Grade School State Tournament from the most recent year.
2. Official will flip his disk before the first period. The winner of flip (Coach of team A) has choice of which wrestler he wants to start the match or he can defer his choice to the third period and Coach of team B would choose first who from his team will wrestle the first period. After team B chooses the wrestler that will start then Coach of team A declares who from team A will wrestle the first period.
3. There are no first period falls. If a wrestler puts his opponent on his back for a 5 count, the official gives a verbal command for the wrestler in control to release and continue wrestling. If he is unable to release without giving up control the official will stop the action and restart the wrestlers from the top/bottom position. If the point differential reaches 10 (Ten) in the first period, the period would end and move right into the second period. There will be the normal flip of the disk to decide who has choice of top, bottom, neutral or defer.
4. The wrestler who sat out the first period MUST wrestle the second period. The second period rules are identical to a normal wrestling match. There are no special rules.
5. Either wrestler can start the third period (refer to #1 as to who declares first). They can wrestle the entire third period or they can switch one time during a normal stoppage of the match during the third period. A normal stoppage of match would be wrestlers out of bounds, stalemate, potentially dangerous etc. When the Coach from one wrestler’s team decides to switch, the other team can switch at that time or at another stoppage time during the third period or the wrestler who started the third period can wrestle the entire period. After a team uses its change of wrestlers they are NOT allowed any more changes. If after the change had already been made in the third period, an injury would occur that prevented the wrestler from continuing the match would be ended. They cannot make a second change to put the uninjured wrestler back into the match.
6. Overtime: Normal Overtime rules would occur and either wrestler from each team could wrestle. A flip of the disk would decide who gets choice of which team must choose who will wrestle the first period of overtime. The winner of the flip can choose which wrester will wrestle the first period of overtime or defer his choice to the tie- breaker if it should occur.
7. A symbolic tag in the form of a high five must be made any time that a change of wrestlers takes place (end of period, third period switch).
