- One foot entirely touches the protection area and no action is executed.
- The wrestlers in a hold go into the passivity zone with three or four feet without executing the hold and stay there.
- If the bottom wrestler's head entirely touches the protection zone.
In all illegal actions such as fleeing the hold, fleeing the mat, faults committed by the attacking wrestler or injuries in "parterre" wrestling, the bout shall continue in "parterre" position.

To save attacking wrestler, if he/she lifts his/her opponent from the ground during "parterre" wrestling and the attacked wrestler prevents the attack through an illegal action, the referee will penalize the wrestler at fault by caution 2 points in GR regardless attacking wrestler has succeeded or not in his hold and 1 or 2 points in FS regarding the attacking wrestler has succeeded or not in his hold and bout will continue in "parterre". If the attacking wrestler will succeed his hold, he will also score the deserved points.
