ART. 1 . . . A fall occurs when any part of both shoulders or both scapula of either wrestler are in
contact with the mat for two seconds. The two seconds (one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two) shall
be a silent count and shall start only after the referee is in position to observe if a fall is imminent. A
fall is imminent when any part of both shoulders or both scapula of either wrestler are in contact with
the mat. The shoulders or scapula must be held inbounds in continuous contact with the mat. A fall
terminates wrestling.
