For schoolboys and cadets: two periods of 2 minutes with a 30-second break.

For Juniors and Seniors: two periods of 3 minutes with a 30-second break.

For all the competitions, the timing displayed on the scoreboards will start from 0 to 6 minutes (from 0 to 4 minutes for schoolboys and cadets).

The winner is declared by the addition of the points in both periods at the end of the regular time. Evident technical superiority of 8 points for Greco Roman wrestling and 10 points for Freestyle Wrestling and Women's Wrestling automatically leads to victory and to the end of the bout.

The fall stops automatically the match whatever the period.

Freestyle and Women's Wrestling: The duration of a period is 3 minutes. If, after 2 minutes in the first period, no wrestler has scored then the referee must obligatorily designate the passive wrestler.

Greco-Roman wrestling: The duration of a period is 3 minutes. In the case where a bout ends by 0-0, the victory goes to the wrestler who was deemed the most active last.
