In principle, a team competition takes place according to UWW official weight categories that is 8 categories. Each team may change the wrestlers for each session, as long as they were weighed-in.

If a home-away session takes place in one day, one winner must be declared at the end of the home bout, and one at the end of the away bout. The victory obtained by a wrestler in a match gives 1 point to his team, with no regard to the way the victory has been obtained.

If a competition involves only two teams

If it is a one-day home-away session between two teams (dual meet), and each team wins a match, they are two ranking possibilities to be determined before the beginning of the match.

a) Having a third match to determine the winning team.

b) Determine the winning team by assessing the following criteria:
- The most victories by adding the points of the 2 matches
- Total of classification points after 2 matches (home-away matches)
- The most victories by fall, default, forfeit, or disqualification
- The most match victories by technical superiority
- The most technical points obtained in all the competition
- The fewest technical points given in all the competition
- The outcome of the last match competed

If a competition involves more than two teams

The same system will apply to determine the winner of the match. The winning team will receive 1 point and the losing one 0 point.

If two teams have an equal number of classification points at the end of the competition, the winner will be determined on bases of the result of their match.

If three or more teams have an equal number of victories

The following principle will apply to rank the worst team(s) regarding the results of matches between compared teams:
- The fewest classification points
- The fewest victories by fall, default/forfeit/disqualification
- The fewest match victories by superiority
- The fewest technical points obtained in all the competition
- The most technical points given in all the competition

The two remaining teams will be ranked according to the result of their direct match.

In case of a tied match (same number of victory like 4-4) between two teams in a team competition, the winner will be determined by successively reviewing the following criteria:
- The total of classification points
- The most victories by fall, default, forfeit, or disqualification The most match victories by technical superiority
- The most technical points obtained during the match
- The fewest technical points given during the match
- The outcome of the last bout competed
