(FILA) rules will be used. The FILA scoring system
will also be used. Anti-doping policies will be
applied.
The 1st World Outgames endorses a healthy and fair approach to sports training and competition. Sport events in the 1st World Outgames are sanctioned by provincial, national, and in some cases, international sports governing bodies. In order to adhere to the rules of these sporting federations and to guarantee that the Outgames are run in a fair and just manner, GLISA and the Outgames have adopted the policy as set by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES), and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Consequently, all athletes competing in the 1st World Outgames must adhere to GLISA’s position on drugs in sport and may be required to undergo drug-testing. We encourage all participants to become familiar with this policy.
The objective of the 1st World Outgames in this regard is to provide an experience where all athletes are able to compete in a safe and welcoming environment, without discrimination of any kind. Our priority is to find the appropriate balance to ensure that no person, regardless of their birth gender, is disadvantaged in athletic competition and at the same time that no person participating in the Outgames experiences discrimination.
GLISA and the 1st World
Outgames have collaborated so as to develop a
policy that reflects this balance. We encourage
all participants, especially those who have identified
themselves as ‘transgender’ in the registration process, to become familiar with this policy.
The competition format will follow FILA rules.
Participants may register in
ONE of three divisions for their weight class
and gender. There will be separate competitions
for the Men's and Women's divisions.
The following categories will be used:
 |
Open |
(18 to 35
years) |
|
Masters |
(36 to 45
years and 46 + years) |
|
Novice |
(all ages) |
NOTE: To be
eligible for the Open and Masters Competition
(except for Novices), wrestlers must provide proof
that they are a member of FILA
or a FILA-affiliated organisation in their country
of origin. Though accepted, FILA licenses are
not required. A card showing membership in a FILA-affiliated
organisation is, however, mandatory. Participants
must show proof of membership at accreditation.
- The event for Novice wrestlers
will be held on Monday, 31 July 2006. Men and
women in the various age groups will train together.
This will not be a competition but rather an
opportunity to improve skills together.
Weight classes with five or
fewer wrestlers will use the FILA Nordic Tournament
system. All wrestlers will compete against those
in their weight class. If there are five participants
in a particular weight class, each competitor
will take part in four matches to establish his
or her ranking.
For weight divisions with six
or more wrestlers, the competition will be held
in two parts:
Part 1
Elimination by pool:
This will be held in a round-robin format in pools
of three or four wrestlers. Wrestlers are paired
in the order of numbers drawn at random during
the weigh-in from the smallest to the largest
number (for example, number one against number
two, etc.) and are then divided into pools of
three or four wrestlers.
Wrestlers in each pool compete
against other wrestlers in the same pool (two
or three bouts). The wrestler who has the highest
number of classification points in each pool
will advance to the final round.
NOTE: Once
winners of each pool have been determined, it
is sometimes necessary to hold a qualification
round using the single elimination system, or
knock-out format, to obtain the ideal number of
wrestlers (divisible by 4). Pairing for this round
will be between wrestlers placed highest on the
pairing charts.
Part 2
Final round: This round
will use a single elimination system, or knock-out
format. Competitions will continue until only
two wrestlers remain. These two will compete for
first and second place in their division and weight
class. The losers of the semi-finals will compete
against each other for third and fourth place.
Separation Criteria
A. Within weight
divisions:
Where possible, separation criteria will be used
within each weight division. The criteria will
be by club, then city/region and then by random
draw. This information will be collected from
each athlete prior to or during the weigh-in.
B. Twelve or more wrestlers in a weight division:
Where there are 12 or more wrestlers in a weight
division, the division will be split into two.
Medals will be awarded to those who place first,
second and third in each division. The separation
criteria will be the same as above (by club, then
by city/region and then by random draw).
Rule applicable where there
is only one wrestler in a weight class
If, after the weigh-in, there
is only one wrestler in a weight class, the wrestler
will have the choice of wrestling in a higher
or lower division (subject to the approval of
the officials) or to stay where he/she is. If
the wrestler opts to remain in the same division,
he or she will be awarded a gold medal.
Exhibition matches may be organised
with another wrestler of similar weight and experience
provided both wrestlers agree. Officials reserve
the right to make final decisions on the organisation
of exhibition matches.
Rule applicable where there are only two wrestlers
in a weight class
If, after the weigh-in, there
are only two wrestlers in a weight class, they
will compete against each other. First- and second-place
medals will be awarded.
Since each wrestler will only
wrestle in one match, and weight divisions with
more entries will wrestle a minimum of two matches,
exhibition matches may be organised with other
wrestlers of similar weight and experience.
