When a wrestler flees the mat, from either a standing or "par terre" position, a caution shall immediately be issued against the wrestler at fault. The following points shall be awarded to the attacking wrestler:

Fleeing the mat in "par terre" wrestling:
- 1 point in FS and 2 points in GR + 1 caution against the opponent
- Restart in "par terre" position

Fleeing the mat in a danger position:
- 2 points + 1 caution against the opponent
- Restart in "par terre" position

Fleeing the mat in standing position:
- 1 point in FS and 2 points in GR + 1 caution against the opponent
- Restart in standing position
