the same day.
h) If an athlete is injured and cannot continue the bout, he will lose the match by injury. The concerned
athletewill be ranked based on the points that he earned until his injury. If the injured athlete is ready to

Article 11.5 – Anti-doping
Pursuant to the provisions written in the Constitution, and in order to fight against doping, which is
formally prohibited, UWW reserves the right to require that athletes undergo examinations or tests in all
competitions in the official calendar. This provision must be applied at Continental and World
Championships, according toUWW Regulations, and at the Olympic and Continental Games, according to
IOC Rules.
In no case competitors or officers may oppose this verification without incurring sanctions provided in
UWW’s Antidoping Rules. The UWW Medical Commission will decide the time, the number or frequency
of these examinations, which will be carried out by any means it deems useful. Suitable samples will be
taken by a doctor certified by UWW, in the presence of an officer for the athlete to be tested.
The setting up and financial implications of the anti-doping controls during the competition are paid for
by thehost country and the National Federations.
In case of a positive result, the sanction provided in the UWW Anti-doping Regulations will be applied.
The UWW, being subject to the convention fighting drug use signed with the IOC and applied by the World
Anti- Doping Agency (WADA), all its Regulations, procedures and sanctions are applicable by the UWW.

Article 2.1 – Competition System
The competitions take place by direct elimination system with an ideal number of athletes, i.e. 4, 8, 16,
32, 64, etc. If there is no ideal number of athletes in a category, qualification matches will be organized.
Pairing is made in the order of the numbers drawn at random. All athletes who lost against both finalists
will have repechage matches. There are two separated groups of repechage: one group of athletes who lost
againstthe finalist of the upper part of the bracket, and another group of athletes who lost against the
finalist from the bottom part of the bracket. The repechage matches begin with athletes who lost in the first
round includingin 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.
Each weight category is organized in one day. The draw takes place the day before the beginning of the
category concerned at the latest. The medical control and weigh-in will be held the morning of the
concerned weight category.
The competition takes place in the following manner:
Morning:
- Qualification rounds
- Elimination rounds
Afternoon:
- Repechage rounds
- Finals
Classification criteria
From the 7th place, athletes of each category will be ranked depending on their classification points.
In case of a ranking tie, they will be ranked by analyzing the following criteria successively, across
allcompetition:
-
the highest classification points
the direct match (if applicable)
the most victories by “TAZA”
the victories by “Superiority”
most “ZHARTYLAY ZHENIS”
most “ZHAMBAS”
the lowest draw number
Competition with less than 8 athletes (Nordic Tournament)
If less than 6 athletes are registered in one weight category, one group will be established, and all athletes
will compete against each other.
For Continental and World Championships, a weight category that counts only 1 athlete will be
cancelledand no title or medal will be awarded!
If there are 6 or 7 athletes in one weight category, the competition starts with a pool phase with two
groups. As mentioned above, all athletes from each group will compete against all the other athletes of
their group (the Nordic tournament system is used as the ranking criterion within each group). Ranking
within the groupsis used to determine the pairings for the semi-finals.
The semi-final matches will consist with:
- the first ranked in the group A against the second ranked in the group B
- the second ranked in the group A against the first ranked in the group B
The gold medal match will be between the winners of the semi-finals and the bronze medal match will
be between the losers of the semi-finals. Only one bronze medal will be awarded for this scenario.
Ranking criteria for the Nordic tournament
In the Nordic tournament, the athlete with the highest number of victories will be ranked first. In a
same group, if two athletes have an equal number of victories, their direct match will determine the
ranking.
For all the cases with a tie between athletes in the same group, the ranking will be determined following
these criteria, across all the competition:
- the highest classification points;
- the direct match (if applicable);
- the most victories by “TAZA”;
- the victories by “Superiority”;
- most “ZHARTYLAY ZHENIS”;
- most “ZHAMBAS”;
- the lowest draw number.Referencing norms: BirTop2023, EkiTop2023, NordicZhuiesi, OrynBasymdylyqZhenister, OrynTazaZhenister, OrynTikeleiKezdesu, OrynUpaiBoiynsha, OrynZhambasZhenister, OrynZhartylaiZhenister, OrynZherebeNomiri, SanatZhoiyldy, TikeleiShyghuZhuiesi

Article 3.2 – Draw and Pairing
Participants shall be paired off according to the numerical order determined by the drawing of lots made
the day before the competition day of the concerned weight category, at the latest. The UWW competition
management system shall be used for the draw and management of all international competitions entered
in the UWW calendar.
If the UWW competition management system cannot be used, numbered tokens must be enclosed in an
urn, a bag or any other similar object.
If a different system is used, it has to be clearly announced. If the team leader (or his substitute) cannot
attend the draw because of exceptional reason, he must inform the organizer and United World Wrestling
otherwise his athlete(s) won’t be part of the draw. The organizer will have the responsibility to
communicate it to the UWW results’ team.
Important: When the person responsible for the weigh-in and drawing of lots observes an error in the
regulationprocedure as outlined above, the drawing of lots for the category in question has to be cancelled.
Drawing of lots for this category will then be repeated with the agreement of the technical delegate.
The technical delegate or the IT person is responsible of the smooth running of the draw and must ensure
thatthese rules were complied with. He will also have to confirm the weigh-in list. After the end of the
draw, no protest can be submitted.
Position of the athletes in the bracket
For a competition with 6 or 7 athletes, the athlete who gets the lowest draw number will be in group A,
then the second lowest draw number will be in group B, then the third lowest draw number will be in
group A and so on.
For a competition with more than 7 athletes – If the number of athletes participating in a weight category
different from (more than) 8, 16, 32, etc, qualification rounds must be organized. To provide a balance
betweenthe upper and lower part of the bracket, qualification rounds’ position follows the top-bottombottom-top approach. The same approach is used to determine the Seeded athlete’s position on the
bracket.
Seeded athlete into the bracket
The aim of such drawing of lots is to place consequently the seeded athletes as far as possible from each
other in order to preserve them until the latest possible stage. The remaining positions (non-seeded
athletes) are filled up from top to bottom based on their draw number (a small draw number doesn’t
preserve the athletes to compete in the qualification round).
If the qualifications matches must include the seeded athletes, the pairing starts with the lowest seeded
athlete.
Seeded athletes into a weight category with 6 or 7 athletes will be placed like that:Group A Group B
Seeds n°1
Seeds n°2
Seeds n°4
Seeds n°3
Seeds n°5
Seeds n°6
Seeds n°7
(if applicable)
As soon as the seeded athlete is placed, the non-seeded athletes will be placed in the ABA approach.
All the different brackets – with no seed, 4 seeds and 8 seeds are available.

Article 6.3 – Scoring for actions and holds.
If an attacking wrestler in a standing position leaves the orange zone with one foot during a hold, the
referee must wait for the action of the attacking wrestler to end and evaluate the action.
Throws that start in a standing position and are followed by a touch (knee, arm or shoulder) in the course
of the throw without stopping must be scored according to the throw scoring criteria below.
Evaluation and designation of methods.
1. The holds of wrestlers within their physical abilities without applying prohibited actions during the
bout are called "ADIS".
2. During the bout, effective METHODS or ACTIONS are evaluated according to the following biomechanical
features: throwing phase (whether it is completed or not), throwing speed, throwing amplitude, control
after throwing and touching body parts of the attacked wrestler.
2.1 "ZHAMBAS" (quality rating is lower than "ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS");
2.2 "ZHARTYLAY ZHENIS" (half of the victory);
2.3 "TAZA ZHENIS" a clear victory or "AYKYN BASYMDYLYK" - a clear advantage;
2.4 "ADIS NATIZHESYZ" reception without results;
Note: scores "TAZA ZHENIS", "ZHARTYLAY ZHENIS", "ZHAMBAS" are announced orally by the referee
on the mat.
“TAZA” is awarded:
One clean throw - when an attacking wrestler, by any
(not prohibited) technique, throws an opponent onto the mat
on the entire back or one shoulder blade, but at the same
time, the second shoulder blade touches without stopping and
the entire phase of the throw is considered completed and
the quality of the throw is considered higher than
“ZHARTYLAY ZHENIS”
The referees are obliged to evaluate the throw, taking
into account not only the fact of contact, but also the
complete completion of the phase of the throw, speed and
control after the throw.
Thus, the evaluation "TAZA ZHENIS" can also be
awarded in cases where the attacked fell to the one half of
his back, but the throwing phase is completely completed
with good speed and there is control after the throw.
Also, referees must take into account not only the complete completion of the throw phase, speed
and control after it, but also the defensive reaction of the attacked wrestler.
If the attacked wrestler showed a defensive reaction, thereby twisting on his stomach or falling to
the half of his (her) back, then the throw cannot be assessed as "TAZA ZHENIS".
In all cases, referees should evaluate the execution of the throw based on all criteria that reflect
the quality of the throw.
In the case of "TAZA ZHENIS", the bout is stopped immediately and the victory is declared to the
wrestler who performed the throw;
“ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS” is awarded:
The evaluation "ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS" is given when the
throw was executed well, but not well enough to be counted
as a "TAZA ZHENIS" (clean victory). In this case, the defending
wrestler may respond with a defensive reaction or fall onto
the bridge or onto half of his (her) back, and the throwing
phase is considered incomplete. The "ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS"
assessment is higher than "ZHAMBAS" but lower than "TAZA
ZHENIS".
The evaluation "ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS" is also given when
the attacking wrestler throws his opponent, but the opponent
performs a defensive reaction or action and falls onto the mat
on his (her) side, with his (her) elbow pressed against his (her)
own shoulder or with one shoulder blade touching and touches
the mat with his (her) pelvis.
In this case, the throwing phase is considered not completed. The evaluation for such a throw is
higher than for "ZHAMBAS", but lower than for "TAZA ZHENIS". The evaluation of "ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS" is not
the final decision of the bout, and it continues.
The referee signals the "ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS" assessment by raising their hand to chest level, with
the palm edge facing downwards horizontally. After that, the hand is moved towards the wrestler to whom
the corresponding score is awarded.
The referee shows the evaluation “ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS” by raising his hand chest level, to the mat
chairman, with the edge of the palm facing downwards horizontally. After that the hand moves towards
the wrestler to whom the corresponding score is awarded.
Two time "ZHARTYLAY ZHENIS" - equal to "AYKYN BASYMDYLYK", that is, an early victory by a clear
advantage.
“ZHAMBAS” is awarded:
The evaluation ZHAMBAS is awarded when the attacking
wrestler performs a throw that is incomplete and the throwing
phase is not completed because the defending wrestler exhibits
a defensive reaction, causing him (her) to fall on his (her)
buttocks or rolls onto one hip.
At the same time, this throw is sufficiently controlled
and significant to award "ZHAMBAS". The assessment of
"ZHAMBAS" is not the final decision of the fight, and match
continues.
The evaluation "ZHAMBAS" is awarded in the case when
the attacked wrestler falls on the mat with either one or both
hips touching the mat, or when the defending wrestler falls
onto one shoulder with the elbow touching the mat and the hip
also touching the mat.
The evaluation "ZHAMBAS" is rated lower than the "ZHARTYLAY
ZHENIS".
The referee signal for the "ZHAMBAS" score – referee's hand pointing towards the mat supervisor,
raised vertically to chest level with a clenched fist, and then directed towards the wrestler being awarded
the corresponding score.
Two "ZHAMBAS" scores are equal to one "ZHARTYLAY ZHENIS".
Three "ZHAMBAS" scores are equal to one "ZHARTYLAY ZHENIS" score and one "ZHAMBAS"
score.
Four "ZHAMBAS" scores are equal to
advantage.
"Aikyn basymdylyk" score, which means a clear
Actions without evaluation – "ADYS NATIZHESYZ" (ineffective action)
The gesture "ADIYS NATIZHESYZ" is performed by
the referee, and it signifies that the executed technical
action has no result.
Description of the gesture: referee's hands are
directed towards a mat referee and raised to the waist,
with the palms facing downwards and both arms crossed.
"ADIYS NATIZHESYZ" is given when the executed
throw or counter-throw (or action) cannot be evaluated
because the quality of the throw does not correspond the
above-mentioned criteria for evaluation, and the fall in
quality is lower than the "ZHAMBAS" assessment according
to the criteria.
"ADIS NATIZHESYZ" is given in the case when the
defending athlete did not make a counter-action for a
possible evaluation, or there is a breakdown in the holds
and both wrestlers ended up on the mat without
maintaining control of each other, and this fall quality is
lower than the evaluation of "ZHAMBAS";
"ADIS NATIGESYZ" can be awarded when a wrestler, standing on one or two knees or lying on his
back, performs a technique that cannot be scored.
Throws that start from a standing position and accompanied by a touch of the knee, arm or shoulder
in the during the throw without stopping must be scored according to the criteria for scoring the throw.
In summary, all score evaluations are:
• two evaluation of “ZHAMBAS” are equated with a single evaluation of “ZHARTYLAY ZHENIS”.
• two evaluation of “ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS” are equated with one evaluation of “AYKYN
BASYMDYLYK”.
• three evaluation of "ZHAMBAS" - equal to the evaluation "ZHARTYLAY ZHENIS" and one point
"ZHAMBAS";
• four evaluation of "ZHAMBAS" - equal to the evaluation "AYKYN BASYMDYLYK" that is, a clear
advantage to an urgent victory;Referencing norms: AiqynBasymdylyq, Birlik, QorghanysTazaBolaAlmaidy, TazaQaishylyghy, TizedenNatizhesiz, UzilissizLaqtyru

Article 8.2 - Determination of Passivity AND CAUTIONS (ESKERTU)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The athlete who is closer to the center of the mat is considered more active;
The athlete who is in the passivity zone is considered passive;
An athlete is considered passive if he blocks the opponent's action with a straight arm to avoid
the wrestling (from below, from above, from the collar, sleeve, belt, etc.) for more than 3 seconds.
The athlete is considered passive if he backs away;
The athlete is considered passive if the athlete tilts the body and lowers his head, assuming a defensive
posture;
If a wrestler does not perform an attack action while his opponent has performed two or more attack
actions. (Attacking action is any technical action after which the attacked wrestler is forced to restore
balance or falls, but it is not evaluated);
If a wrestler uses a hold to avoid a fight, deliberately done exclusively through a knee or two, as well
as lying on his back.
Reasons and related circumstances for issuing a caution “ESKERTU”.
1. If the announced wrestler, who should be on the mat, is late by 30-59 seconds, he receives the
first caution. If he is late for 60-89 seconds, he gets the second caution. If he is late for 90 seconds or
more, he receives the third warning, he will be considered not to appear and loses the bout. (the referee
turns on the scoreboard immediately after the announcement of both wrestlers).
2. If an athlete deliberately unties the belt.
3. If one of the wrestlers avoids the bout by a false attack and goes to parterre.
4. If during the match one of the wrestlers left the mat circle, avoiding the bout (escape from the
mat in a free form or move backwards for three or more steps).
5. If an athlete kicks the opponent without taking him off balance.
6. If an athlete pushes his opponent out of the mat without attacking in order to stop the bout.
7. If he blocks the opponent's action with a straight arm to avoid the wrestling (from below, from
above, from the collar, sleeve, belt, etc.) for more than 3 seconds.
8. If an athlete grabs the wrist, fingers or hair, and also grabs the hem of the Beren, shorts or legs.
However, if the attacked wrestler intentionally touches the mat with his hands in order to avoid an
attack, grabs legs or below the waist, the referee should not interrupt the bout with the command
"TOKTA", but should wait
for the attack to be completed, evaluate it and then give an appropriate caution.
9. If an athlete does not allow the opponent to grab the collar by taking his collar with one or both
hands.
10. If an athlete rolls up the sleeve of his Beren or rolls it up to his armpits to avoid a hold.
11. If a wrestler does not perform an attack action while his opponent has performed two or more
attack actions. (Attacking action is any technical action after which the attacked wrestler is forced to
restore balance or falls, but it is not evaluated);
12. The referee may penalize both wrestlers for passive wrestling if they do not perform technical
actions and are not active. In such a situation, the referee may give cautions to both wrestlers. If the
athletes continue to wrestle passively, the referee may give the second warning and even disqualify the
wrestlers, if he considers that they are not fulfilling their duties in accordance with the wrestling rules.
13. The athlete is considered passive if the athlete tilts the body and lowers his head, assuming a
defensive posture;
14. If a wrestler uses a hold to avoid a fight, deliberately done exclusively through a knee or two,
as well as lying on his back.
15. If an athlete uses prohibited techniques or actions specified in these rules.
16. If an athlete takes off his Beren after the end of the bout in front of an audience. (secretary of
the competition announces a caution to him even after the bout and it will be relevant in the next match
and it will be reflected in the scoreboard).

mat violating sports ethics, he is given a caution (the competition secretary announces a warning to him
even after the bout and it will be relevant in the next bout and it will be reflected on the scoreboard) or
he will be disqualified from the competition by the decision of the Head referee.
18. If an athlete, team, or representative violates sports ethics and shows disrespect towards the
referee or opponent, for example, by arguing or talking on the mat, the Head referee has the authority to
decide on their disqualification.
19. Athletes may receive a caution if his second has entered in an inappropriate attire.
20. In case of stepping over the opponent's head during a match disregarding sports ethics.
"ESKERTU" (caution) - after showing the appropriate gesture, the referee directs the palm of one hand
towards the corresponding wrestler.
The first "ESKERTU" - without transferring the score to the opponent;
The second "ESKERTU" - without transferring the score to the opponent;
The third "ESKERTU" equals to "CLEAR ADVANTAGE" in favor of the opponent.
A strict caution "Katang ESKERTU" is equal to "Clear victory".
Cases when a strict caution is issued:
- if a wrestler called to the mat is late by 90 seconds;
- to athletes for using (prohibited techniques or actions) specified in these rules;
- for dangerously head-down or head-to-head movement that could cause serious injury during a
throw or fall;
- in case athletes slowly get up to the starting position;

body.Up to the three caution which leads to disqualification.
1st Caution = 0 Point > 2nd Caution = 0 Point > 3rd Caution = Disqualification.Referencing norms: EskertuBapkerKiimi, EskertuBastanAttau2023, EskertuBeldiSheshu, EskertuBerendiSheshu2023, EskertuEkeuiPassiv, EskertuItyru, EskertuKilemnenQashu, EskertuQorghanysQalpy, EskertuTagzymsyz2023, EskertuTebu, EskertuTizeden, EskertuTyiymAdis2023, EskertuTyiymUstau, EskertuUpaisyz, EskertuZhaghanyUstau, EskertuZhalganShabuyl, EskertuZhenQaiyru, KeshiguBirinshi, KeshiguEkinshi, KeshiguEskertu, KeshiguKelmedi, KeshiguUshinshi, PassivtikEkiShabuyl2023, QatanAnyqZhenis2023, QatanBaspenQulau, QatanBayauTuru2023, QatanKeshigu2023, QatanSheshimdiDaulau2023, QatanTyiymAdis2023, TuraQolUshSekund2023, UshinshiEskertuBasymdylyq

Article 1.1 – Roll-Mat
As this is a widely used term in the sporting community, it is permissible to use the word “mat” in place of
“roll-mat.”
A roll-mat/mat approved by UWW, measuring 12 × 12 metres, with a central circle 9 m in diameter and
surrounded by a 1.50 m-wide safety area of the same thickness, is mandatory for Qazaq Kuresi
competitions.
For international competitions, world championships and continental competitions, warm-up or training
mats must also be approved by UWW and be of the same quality.
On the inner side of the 9 m circle there is an orange band 1 m wide, which forms an integral part of the
wrestling area.
The following terms are used to designate parts of the mat:

At all world championships and continental competitions, the mat may be installed on a platform not higher
than 1 m 10 cm and not lower than 0 m 80 cm (safety requirement). The platform around the mat must
extend 2 meters on each side. If more than one mat is used, the distance between them must be 2 meters.
In all cases, the colour of the safety area must differ from that of the mat. The wooden floor of the platform
near the mat must be covered with securely fastened soft covering. For safety reasons, the scoreboard must
be placed separately next to the platform.
Mats used for Qazaq Kuresi must comply with all dimensional requirements and bear United World
Wrestling holograms.

covering must be even.
Documents:
• Certificate and Passport with the manufacturer’s unique roll mat number.
To prevent contamination, mats must be cleaned and disinfected before each competition session.

and chair). The representative of the wrestler in the red Beren shall be on the right, and of the wrestler in
blue on the left (behind) the referee.
The mat must be installed so that it is surrounded by a wide open space to ensure safe conduct of the
competition.

Article 2.1 – Competition System
Athena System
At all official competitions held under the aegis of United World Wrestling (UWW), the Athena
information system is used.
Athena is a unified international registration and management platform. Through this system, licenses for
athletes, referees and coaches are issued, and officials who are part of delegations submitted by national
federations are registered.
Access to Athena is provided to each national federation via an individual login and password issued by
UWW. Using these credentials, federations are obliged to register all members of their delegation in a
timely manner (https://athena.uww.org/login).
When registering in Athena, full and accurate data must be entered for each member of the delegation. The
document package includes passport details, a valid photograph, a license application, and for athletes — a
medical certificate. Documents submitted late or improperly prepared are not accepted.
Federations bear direct responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of the information provided. If
inaccurate or incorrect data are identified, the athlete or delegation member will not be issued a license and
will not be allowed to participate. In Athena, not only athletes are registered, but also coaches, referees,
doctors, masseurs, team leaders, official delegates and other specialists. The system ensures transparency of
delegation composition and promotes observance of the official procedures for conducting competitions.
Arena System
At international competitions under the aegis of UWW, the Arena (Competition Management System)
program is used. Arena is a comprehensive digital tool for organizing and conducting tournaments.
Through Arena, the mandate commission works, the draw is conducted, and participants are registered for
official competitions. Passport data of athletes and delegation members, their photographs and licenses are
entered into the system. Medical certificates, in addition to being entered into Arena, are also submitted to
the mandate commission.
Furthermore, Arena contains the official competition calendar; records the result of each bout and publishes
them in real time; generates official protocols and reports; and maintains the medal table. Arena covers all
stages of the tournament — from registration of delegations to the publication of official results.
Use of the Systems
The combined use of Athena and Arena ensures transparency, fairness and full compliance with
international competition standards. All delegations are obliged to provide passport data, photographs,
licenses and medical certificates in due time. Failure to comply with these requirements is grounds for
exclusion from the competition.
Competitions are conducted by direct elimination with an ideal even number of athletes, i.e., 4, 8, 16, 32,
64, etc. If there is no ideal even number in the category, qualification bouts (bringing to even numbers)
are organized.
Bouts are arranged randomly in accordance with the draw results. All athletes who lost to the two finalists
enter the repechage.
There are two separate repechage groups: one for athletes who lost to the finalist from the top half of the
bracket and one for athletes who lost to the finalist from the bottom half of the bracket (Groups A and B).
Repechage begins with wrestlers who lost in their first bout. The winners of the two repechage groups will
wrestle for the bronze medal with the athlete from their group who lost the semifinal (i.e., the one who lost
the final qualifying match to reach the final).
Each weight category is completed in one day. The draw procedure is conducted at the meeting of the
mandate commission by automatic or manual method (drawing numbers) before the start of competition.
Medical control and weigh-in are conducted in the morning for the relevant weight category.
Competition Day Structure:
Morning:
– Qualification bouts
– Elimination bouts
Afternoon:
– Repechage bouts
– Finals
Classification Criteria
From 8th place onward (8, 9, 10, etc.), athletes in each weight category are ranked according to the
classification points they have earned.
In the event of a tie in ranking, they are ranked by successive analysis of the following criteria throughout
the competition:
•
•
•
•
•
•
the direct match (if applicable);
the most victories by TAZA scores;
the most match won by AIKYN BASYMDYLYK (technical superiority);
the most match won by ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS scores;
the most match won by ZHAMBAS scores;
lowest draw number.
Competition with less than 8 athletes (Nordic Tournament)
Competitions with fewer than 8 athletes in a weight category are held in a round-robin system.
If fewer than 8 athletes are registered in one weight category, they are divided into two groups and each
athlete wrestles everyone in his/her group.
If only one athlete participates in a weight category at continental and world championships, his/her result
shall be annulled (no title or medal shall be awarded).
As noted above, all athletes in each group wrestle all the others in their group (ranking criteria for the
round-robin system are used to identify the strongest in Groups A and B). Group ranking is used to
determine the semifinal pairings.
Semifinals:
– 1st place in Group A (top bracket) vs 2nd place in Group B (bottom bracket);
– 2nd place in Group A (top bracket) vs 1st place in Group B (bottom bracket).
The gold medal bout is between the winners of the semifinals; the bronze medal bout is between the
semifinal losers. In this case only one bronze medal is awarded (no repechage).
Round-Robin Ranking Criteria
In a round-robin, the athlete with the greatest number of victories ranks first. If two athletes in one group
have the same number of victories, their head-to-head result determines the winner.
In all cases of equal results among athletes in one group, ranking shall be determined by the following
criteria at all competitions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
the direct match (if applicable);
the most victories by TAZA scores;

Article 3.2 – Draw and Pairing
Participants are paired in accordance with the sequence of numbers determined by a draw conducted no
later than the day before competition for the relevant weight category.The UWW competition management
system must be used for the draw and management of all international competitions entered in the UWW
calendars.
If the UWW management system cannot be used, numbered tokens must be placed into an urn, bag or any
similar container. Numbers are then drawn at random.
If another system is used, this must be clearly announced. If a team leader (or deputy) cannot attend the
draw for an exceptional reason, he/she must inform the organizer and UWW delegates; otherwise his/her
athlete(s) will not participate in the draw. The organizer is responsible for informing the UWW group of
this.

weight category concerned must be cancelled; then the draw shall be repeated for that weight category with
the consent of the Technical Delegate.
The Technical Delegate or IT specialist is responsible for the smooth conduct of the draw and for ensuring
compliance with these rules. He/she must also confirm the weigh-in list. After the draw has ended, no
protest may be lodged.
Placement of Athletes in the Bracket (Protocol)
In competitions with 6 or 7 athletes, the athlete with the lowest draw number will be in Group A; the
second lowest number will be in Group B; the third lowest in Group A; and so on — distribution A-B-A.
Distribution for categories with 6 or 7 athletes:
•
•
Group A: Draw numbers 1, 3, 5, 7
Group B: Draw numbers 2, 4, 6
For competitions with more than 7 athletes — if the number in a weight category exceeds 8, 16, 32, etc. —
qualification bouts must be organized. To balance the top and bottom halves of the bracket, qualification
bouts are placed per the pattern “top-bottom-bottom-top.” The same approach is used to determine the
position of the seeded (brought-in) athlete in the bracket.
Distribution in the protocol
All types of bracket protocols are available at:

Article 3.4 – Elimination from Competition
The loser is eliminated and ranked according to the established classification points, except for athletes who
lost to one of the finalists, as they enter the repechage for 3rd or 5th places.
If an athlete fails to appear for a bout without a medical decision signed by the UWW doctor or competition
doctor, and without notifying the competition secretariat, he/she loses the bout (by forfeit) and is excluded
from the ranking; the opponent wins the bout.
If UWW or competition doctors can prove that an athlete has simulated an injury for any reason, he/she
shall be disqualified, with no points, with the notation “DSQ” (disqualification) next to his/her name.
If an athlete commits a manifest violation of sporting ethics within the spirit of fair play proclaimed by
UWW, or displays brutality, he/she shall be immediately disqualified and excluded from the competition by
decision of the referees. In this situation, he/she will be last in the ranking, with no points, and marked
“DSQ.”
If both athletes are disqualified for roughness during the same bout, they will be disqualified as stated
above. The bracket composition for the next bout will not be changed. The athlete scheduled to meet one of
the disqualified wrestlers wins the bout by forfeit.
If two semifinalists are disqualified for violation of sporting ethics during the same bout, they will be
excluded, and their quarterfinal losers will wrestle in the semifinal; the repechage will be adjusted
accordingly. If semifinals are held during the evening session, this bout will be organized at the end of the
session to give athletes sufficient preparation time. If this occurs on the same day, athletes will be given one
hour (because it is a double disqualification) to prepare.
If a double injury (2VIN) occurs in one bout, the next scheduled opponent wins “by injury.” If a double
injury occurs in a semifinal, the classification criteria (Articles 2.1 and 7) will be used to determine which
athletes should enter the repechage.
If a forfeit(s) or disqualification(s) happen during a medal match (1-2 or 3-5), the following athletes
(from thepart of the bracket of the disqualified/forfeited athlete(s)) will move up the table to establish
the final classification. If the two finalists are disqualified, then it will be necessary to make the bout
between the twobronze medalists to determine the 1st and the 2nd place. All other participants will
go up in the ranking, the two in 5th position will become 3rd. If the two finalists are forfeits despite
their successful second weigh-in, the same process will apply (an additional match between the two
bronze medalists).
For all type of forfeit and disqualification, the concerned athlete will be ranked last, withoutrank.
Ranking in case of doping violations
If a doping test is positive, the athlete is disqualified and automatically occupies the last place in the
ranking, without any title or points, with the note “DSQ.”The following athletes move up in the ranking. If
this concerns an athlete placed 3rd, then the athlete from the same bracket section moves up. In this case,
only one athlete occupies 5th place.
If both finalists test positive and are disqualified, the two bronze medalists receive gold medals. In this
specific case, no silver medal is awarded, and both athletes who were 5th move up to 3rd place.
In the case of a positive doping test during team competitions, the team of the offending athlete is
disqualified and placed last in the ranking without a place, with the note “DSQ” next to its flag.Referencing norms: DopingDsq, DorekilikDsq, DsqOrynsyzSongy, DsqShyghaildy, FinalistkeZhenilgenRepeshazh, KilemgeShyqpauKelmeu, KilemgeShyqpauQarsylasZhenisi, KilemgeShyqpauShyghaildy, SimulyatsiyaDsq, ZhenilgenShyghady

Article 5.7 – Types of Victory
A bout may be won:
• by TAZA ZHENIS (Pure Victory);
• by AIKYN BASYMDYLYK(technical superiority) - through the total points accumulated within
one bout (a clear advantage of at least four ZHAMBAS, or two ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS, or one
ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS and two ZHAMBAS);
• by 3 cautions (ESKERTU / QATAN ESKERTU) given to the opponent during a bout;
• by points;
• in case of a tie in points, a victory is awarded to the wrestler who has fewer or no
ESKERTU(cautions) (in this case, no additional one-minute BELDESU is held);
• byinjury;
• by following a forfeit;
• by a disqualification;
• by the result of BELDESU;
• or by the weigh-in result after BELDESU.
BELDESU
In case of a tie at the end of regular time, one additional minute is given, called BELDESU.
• The referee at the centre signals BELDESU — a mutual tight belt grip.
• Both wrestlers are called to the centre and take a belt grip with both hands.
• The right hand of each wrestler holds the belt over the opponent’s left arm (outside), and the left
hand passes underneath the right arm — or vice versa, depending on whether a right-sided or leftsided grip is chosen by the wrestler with the advantage in quality or the last score.
• In case of equality of scores, the right to choose a left- or right-sided grip is granted to the wrestler
with higher-quality scores/points or who executed the last scoring action.
• If ESKERTU cautions are equal, the wrestler who received the last caution loses the right of grip
choice.
• The second wrestler may not alter the grip side chosen by the advantaged wrestler.
• In case of deliberate avoidance of the grip, the wrestler receives an ESKERTU.
•
•
The Mat Chairman and the referee stand in the centre of the mat around the wrestlers and follow
very carefully their bout.
Once both wrestlers are ready, the referee gives the command “BASTA”.
During the belt grip wrestlers are forbidden to:
• move before the referee’s “BASTA” command;
• release or alter the grip;
• press the head against the opponent’s chest;
• kneel;
• bend forward into a defensive position before “BASTA”.
Determining the winner and loser in BELDESU:
• If any part of a wrestler’s body (toe or heel - visible on video) goes out of the passivity zone (orange
zone), that wrestler loses;
• A wrestler who first releases the belt grip loses (even if executing a scoring throw);
• A wrestler who first touches the mat with any part of the body other than the feet loses (unless the touch
occurs in the course of a valid throw during which the attacking wrestler also touches the mat, inside of the
mat);
• A wrestler holding only one layer of the belt loses;
• If the attacking wrestler lifts and carriesthe opponentout of the orange zoneand steps first out - he
loses the bout.
Note:
If a scoring throw is executed with contact of shoulders, head or other body parts to the mat, the decision is
made in favor of the attacking wrestler, provided the move is performed quickly and continuously inside
the mat.
The rule of QATAN ESKERTU (Strict ESKERTU - 3rd caution given immediately) also applies during
BELDESU (see Chapter 9, Article 1).
If BELDESU time ends in a draw, a weigh-in is conducted, and victory is awarded to the wrestler with the
lower weight.
The weigh-in is carried out with the Beren and all items used during the bout.If both wrestlers’ weights are
equal, a victory goes to the wrestler with the lower draw number. If, during a throw, both wrestlers release
their hands from the belt simultaneously, the victory is awarded to the attacking wrestler.Referencing norms: AiqynBasymdylyq, BasymdylyqZhenisi, BeldesuBirQabat, BeldesuEnkeyuTyiymy2026, BeldesuKilemgeTiidi, BeldesuKilemnenShyqty, BeldesuKotergenZhenildi2026, BeldesuTenSalmaq, BeldesuTenSalmaqTenZherebe2026, BeldesuTyiymdary, BeldesuUstaudyZhiberdi, BeldesuZhengenQarsylas, BeldesuZhenisi, DsqZhenisi, EskertuAzUpaiZhenisi2026, EskertuBeldesuUstauKedergi2026, KelmeuZhenisi, QatanUshEskertu2026, SalmaqZhenisi, TazaZhenisi, TenTusti, TenTustiBeldesu2026, TenTustiEskertuAz2026, UpaiBoiynshaZhenis, UpaiZhenisi, UshEskertuZhenisi, ZharaqatZhenisi

Article 5.8 – Coach
The coach may remain near the platform or at a distance of at least two meters from the mat edge during the
bout.If authorized by the UWW doctor (or the competition doctor), the coach has the right to assist in
treating an athlete’s injury.Except during this situation and during the break, it is strictly forbidden to the
coach to step on the mat. It that case he can be sanctioned by the referee.
The coach is strictly prohibited from influencing or insulting the officiating body.He may speak only to his
athlete and must not comment on the referee’s work.
Failure to comply with these requirements entitles the referee to remove the coach from the corner.
During one competition day, if a coach loses 2 times a Challenge,he will be suspended from further
participation thatday and may not coach any wrestler.This fact is recorded in the official score sheet.
However, the team or athlete may use another coach.The national federation of the removed coach shall be
fined according to the provisions of the Disciplinary and Financial Regulations.
The coach must not approach the refereeing area unless summoned by the Referee Delegate or Mat
Chairman.Referencing norms: BapkerEkiChallenge2026, BapkerKilemTyiymy, BapkerShettetileAlady, BapkerZharaqatRuqsaty

Article 5.9 – Challenge
A Challenge is an action by which the coach is permitted, on behalf of the athlete, to stop the bout and
request that the refereeing body review the video of a moment and reconsider its decision.
This option is available only at competitions where video control is provided by UWW and the Organizing
Committee.
During a bout, video review may be initiated only at the request of the Referee Delegate or the coach who
submitted the Challenge.
If the Referee Delegate confirms the decision by the refereeing body, the wrestler loses the challenge and
his/her coach will receive an ESKERTU.
This rule applies depending on the competition status (international) and is regulated by the Qazaq Kuresi
Association.
After the bout is over, a Challenge cannot be requested.
The Referee Delegate may order a video review during the bout if he observes a judging error, but under no
circumstances may the result of a bout be changed after the victory has been announced on the mat.
The decision of the Referee Delegate is final and binding in all disputed cases.
In the event of a controversial situation, the coach must immediately request a Challenge by standing up,
removing his coach accreditation or badge from his neck, and raising it upwards.
At that moment, the Mat Chairman must stop the bout.The Referee Delegate and the Mat Chairman then
review the video recording and make the final decision, taking into account the referee’s decision on the
mat.
If necessary, the Referee Delegate may view the video without stopping the bout and subsequently
communicates the decision to the mat referee.Referencing norms: ChallengeBirRet, ChallengeKuresBitkenSon, ChallengeTausyldy, EskertuChallengeZhoghaltu2026, NatizheOzgermeidi

Article 6.3 – Scoring of Techniques and Actions
If one wrestler, while standing, steps outside the passive area during the execution of a move, the referee
must wait until the attacking action is completed before evaluating it (the action must have been initiated
inside the mat area).
Throws that begin from a standing position and include touches of the knee, head, arm, or shoulder during
continuous execution without interruption shall be evaluated according to the throw-assessment criteria
listed below.
Evaluation of Throws
1. Wrestlers’ techniques during the bout are called ADIS.
2. Effective techniques or actions during a bout are evaluated according to the following
biomechanical indicators:
– completion of the throw phase (whether or not it is finished);
– speed of the throw;
– control after the throw;
– contact of the opponent’s back with the mat.
Effective ADIS or actions are evaluated as follows:
2.1 ADIS NATİZHESİZ – Ineffective Action;
2.2 ZHAMBAS;
2.3 ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS – Half Victory;
2.4 TAZA ZHENIS– Pure Victory.
Note: The scores TAZA ZHENIS, ZHARTYLAI
ZHENISandZHAMBASare announced verbally by the referee
on the mat and accompanied by the corresponding gesture
TAZA ZHENIS (Pure Victory)
Referees shall evaluate throws according to the following
criteria:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Full completion of the throw phase;
Speed of execution;
Control over the opponent after the throw;
Contact at the moment of fall.
TAZA ZHENIS is one clear throw - when an attacking
wrestler, by any (not prohibited) technique, throws an
opponent onto the mat on the entire back or two shoulder
blades, or the opponent rolls (without stopping) on the two shoulders, the entire phase of the throw is
considered completed and the quality of the throw is considered higher than ZHARTYLAY
ZHENIS.
If the defending wrestler shows a protective reaction and falls on the stomach or turns onto a half-back
position, the throw cannot be evaluated as TAZA ZHENIS.In all cases, referees must judge throws using
all the above biomechanical criteria reflecting throw quality.
The referee signals TAZA ZHENIS by raising the corresponding arm upwards, palm facing the Mat
Chairman.
In the case of TAZA ZHENIS, the bout is immediately stopped and victory is awarded to the wrestler who
executed the throw.
ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS (Half Victory)
The score ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS is awarded when the
attacking wrestler executes a throw but the opponent shows a
defensive reaction and falls only on one shoulder blade or
bridges(most position).Although control after the technique is
present, the throw phase is considered incomplete.
If the opponent lands on the side, supporting himself with a
backward-placed leg (which usually continues into the bridge
position), the action is scored as ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS.
Similarly, if the wrestler lands on the back but the throw is
executed too slowly, it is scored only as ZHARTYLAI
ZHENIS.
The quality of ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS is higher than ZHAMBAS but lower than TAZA ZHENIS.
It does not end the bout — wrestling continues.
The referee signals ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS by raising the hand to chest level towards the Mat Chairman,
palm edge downward in a horizontal position, and then moving the hand towards the wrestler who earned
the score.
Two ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS equal one AIKYN BASYMDYLYK (technical superiority/dominant
victory – early win by clear advantage).
ZHAMBAS
The score ZHAMBASis awarded when the throw phase is not fully completed and the defending wrestler,
demonstrating a defensive reaction, falls on the thigh or rolls onto the stomach through the thigh.
In such a case, contact and control are present, so the action is evaluated as ZHAMBAS.
If the opponent falls onto the mat via the outer part of the thigh with contact on the inner part of one
shoulder, it is also scored as ZHAMBAS.
The value of ZHAMBAS is lower than
ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS and does not determine the
bout’s outcome — wrestling continues.
When giving a ZHAMBAS score, the referee directs
the arm toward the Mat Chairman, raised horizontally
to chest level, fist clenched, and then moves it towards
the wrestler who receives the score.
• Two ZHAMBAS equal one ZHARTYLAI
ZHENIS;
• Two ZHARTYLAI ZHENIS equal one
AIKYN BASYMDYLYK;
• Three ZHAMBAS equal one ZHARTYLAI
ZHENIS + one ZHAMBAS;
• Four ZHAMBAS equal one AIKYN
BASYMDYLYK (clear advantage – early
win).
ADIS NATİZHESİZ – Ineffective Action
ADIS NATİZHESİZ is given when the executed technique or counter-technique cannot be evaluated.
It is awarded in the following cases:
• when the technique is performed from one or both knees
(even if the opponent falls);
• when the attacking wrestler performs a move from a lying
position on the back or through contact with the back —
which cannot be scored according to the criteria — without
counter-action or hold by the opponent, and both wrestlers
fall simultaneously.
Referee’s gesture: both hands are raised to waist level,
palms down and crossed, directed towards the Mat
Chairman.
Note: Actions performed continuously without pause, but involving contact of a knee, hand, or shoulder
with the mat, are evaluated according to the standard throw-assessment criteria.Referencing norms: AiqynBasymdylyq, Birlik, QorghanysTazaBolaAlmaidy, TazaQaishylyghy, TizedenNatizhesiz, UzilissizLaqtyru

Article 6.4 – Decision and Voting
Referee’s evaluation on the mat:
Initially, the referee on the mat evaluates the action and displays the corresponding gesture.
In the following controversial situations, the video-review procedure is applied:
• when the Mat Chairman or Referee Delegate disagrees with the mat referee’s decision and reviews
the disputed moment;
• when the Referee Delegate disagrees with the unanimous opinion of both the mat referee and the
Mat Chairman;
• when a coach requests a Challenge.
Final decision:
The final decision is made by the Referee Delegate and may differ from the mat referee’s opinion.The mat
chairman and the referee on the mat then give the corresponding gesture, cancelling the previous score and
signaling the final decision.All referees' opinions are recorded in the score sheets.
If the bout lasts until the end of the regular time, the Mat Chairman’s score sheet shall be used to
determine the winner.The scoreboard must correspond to the Mat Chairman’s score sheet throughout the
bout.

Article 6.5 – Injury and Bleeding Time
If an athlete sustains an accidental injury (for example, an eye blow, head clash, etc.), the referee stops the
bout according to the rules.Upon announcing compensation time, the timekeeper must start the stopwatch
and ensure that the total compensated time for one athlete does not exceed 4 minutes during the entire bout;
otherwise, the injured wrestler automatically loses the bout (by injury).
In case of injury or bleeding, the medical staff must intervene immediately.
Appropriate cleaning materials and disinfectant solutions must be readily available.It is the Head Doctor’s
responsibility to determine whether the bleeding and blood spread have been effectively stopped and
whether the athlete can resume the bout.
The match shall resume only after all materials used to clean blood have been properly disposed of.
In the event of bloody or torn clothing that needs replacement, the coaches of all athletes must have and

Article 8.1 – Cautions for Passivity
1. If a wrestler performs no attacking actions while the opponent executes three consecutive attacking
actions, the inactive wrestler receives an ESKERTU caution.
(An attacking action means any technical action forcing the opponent to lose balance or fall.)
2. If a wrestler bends the body, lowers the head, assumes a defensive posture, or avoids engagement,
he receives an ESKERTU.
3. A wrestler is considered passive if he blocks the opponent’s actions with a straight arm to avoid
engagement (from below, above, by collar, sleeve, belt, etc.) for more than 5 seconds.
4. If a wrestler executes a false technique, he receives an ESKERTU.
A false technique is an action performed to waste time or interrupt the fight, without unbalancing
the opponent.
5. If a wrestler avoids combat and completely steps out of the passive area of the mat with both feet
(the wrestler located in the outer circle is considered passive, while the wrestler closer to the
center is considered active), he receives an ESKERTU.
6. If a wrestler retreats on the mat for three or more steps to avoid engagement.
7. If a wrestler, without performing attacking actions, pushes the opponent off the mat to stop the fight.
8. If a wrestler does not rise in time (remains seated or lying down) and does not return to the center of
the mat to continue the bout.
9. If a wrestler avoids engagement and performs a technique from one or both knees, he receives an
ESKERTU.
10. The referee may penalize both wrestlers for passive fighting if neither performs technical actions or
shows activity.In such a case, the referee may issue cautions to both wrestlers.If the wrestlers
continue to fight passively, the referee may issue a repeated caution or even disqualify both if he
considers that they fail to fulfill their wrestling obligations under the rules.
11. If after a regular time the bout ends in a tie, the wrestler who has received more ESKERTU loses the
bout. In this case, no additional one-minute BELDESU is held — the match ends with the
expiration of regular time.
12. If a Challenge is deemed incorrect, an ESKERTUis given to the wrestler whose coach requested the
challenge.
13. In the additional one-minute BELDESU, an ESKERTUis given if a wrestler obstructs the grip.Referencing norms: EskertuBeldesuUstauKedergi2026, EskertuChallengeZhoghaltu2026, EskertuEkeuiPassiv, EskertuItyru, EskertuKeshUaqytTuru2026, EskertuKilemnenQashu, EskertuQorghanysQalpy, EskertuTizeden, EskertuZhalganShabuyl, PassivtikUshShabuyl2026, TenTustiEskertuAz2026, TuraQolBesSekund2026

Article 8.2 – Cautions Related to Prohibited Actions
1. If a registered wrestler who must be on the mat arrives 30–59 seconds later, he receives the first
caution.
If he arrives 60–89 seconds later, he receives the second caution.

bout.He is deemed disqualified and excluded from the ranking.
(The referee activates the scoreboard immediately after both wrestlers are announced.)
2. If a wrestler intentionally unties the belt without the referee’s permission.
3. If a wrestler deliberately steps over the opponent with a leg, violating etiquette.
4. If a wrestler performs a leg sweep without a proper grip, he receives an ESKERTU.
The same applies to any kicking attempt that does not unbalance the opponent.
5. If a wrestler grips the opponent’s fingers or hair, or the lower edge of the beren below the belt, he
receives an ESKERTU.
A caution is also given for gripping the opponent’s shorts or legs.
If a wrestler’s forearm or fingers touch the opponent’s leg or shorts, it is considered a leg hold.
6. Tripping the opponent’s supporting leg from behind or inside during entry into a technique.
7. It is forbidden to perform techniques solely by squeezing the opponent’s neck with both hands or to
use moves that cause damage to the elbow, knee, or shoulder joints.
Note:However, if the defending wrestler intentionally touches the mat with the hands, grabs the legs, or
below the belt to avoid attack, the referee must not stop the attack with the “TOKTA” command — he must
allow the attack to finish, evaluate it, and then issue the corresponding warning.
8. If a wrestler prevents the opponent from taking a collar grip by holding his own collar with one or
both hands.
9. If a wrestler rolls up his beren sleeves or pulls them up to the armpits to avoid a grip.

(caution).
11. If the athlete’s beren does not comply with the uniform requirements.
12. If the refereeing body fails to notice a prohibited action by one wrestler, the opponent is allowed to
signal vocally or otherwise.A false signal is considered a prohibited act and is punishable by an

Chapter 9 – QATAN ESKERTU (Strict Caution)
1. If a wrestler, during the bout, executes a technique by driving the head directly into the mat, thereby
creating a risk of serious cervical spine injury to himself or the opponent, 3rd caution is given to
him immediately. However, if the downward head movement does not correspond to the throw’s
direction, does not create pressure on the cervical vertebrae, and the head contacts the mat safely,
the wrestler is not disqualified.This rule also applies during BELDESU (see Article 5.7).
