 MAS Wrestling is an ancient sport from Yakutia (far northern region of the Russian in the Republic of Sakha).  Athletes sit in front of each other, prop their feet against the board that divides the competition arena and pull on a short stick. The athlete that is assigned RED side (based on random draw) chooses the stick hold position (internal or external for the first match), and the one who chooses the external hold, shows his position (left or right) and has no right to change it. In second match the grip is reversed/switched (internal/external), and if third match is necessary, a blind draw of a ball (red or blue) is conducted and the color drawn determine choice of stick position. The stick must be over the board, hands and fingers are not to overlapped.  Match starts on Referee’s signal.

An athlete wins the match if he/his:

  • pulls (snatches out) the stick;
  • pulls the opponent over with the stick;
  • opponent releases a hand (hands);
  • opponent moves one or two feet over the board higher than knee level; or
  • opponent gets second caution in single match.

Cautions are given for:

  • hooking and resting the stick and/or arms against the board and/or toes;
  • twisting the stick over 90 degrees vertically and horizontally;
  • re-gripping and twisting the stick before start;
  • disobeying the Referee’s orders before start;
  • false start; or
  • setting feet, body or head against the lateral device fastening the board;

No Contest is declared if:

  • the stick breaks; or
  • athletes fall together and are not able to continue the match.

Points; lose 1-2 and receive 1 Point; and lose 0-2 and receive NO Points.
