CHAPTER 5 - THE BOUT
Article 30 - Interrupting and Continuing the Bout

When the wrestling has been stopped in standing or "parterre" position, it will recommence standing. Wrestling must be stopped and resumed at the centre of the mat in the standing position if:
- 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.

In all illegal actions such as fleeing the hold, fleeing the mat, faults or injuries in standing position, the bout shall continue in standing 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.

If an attacked wrestler takes an illegal action in the "parterre" position, he will receive a caution and 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 will be attributed to his opponent. The bout resumes in "parterre" position, without considering if the wrestler has succeeded or not in his hold.

When a challenge is requested by a coach, the mat chairman interrupts the bout when the action is back to neutral. Then referee asks the concerned wrestler if he accepts the challenge or not before viewing the video.
