4. Your shoulders may not be less than a fist distance away from your hand on the start.
5. All starts will be a "Ready .. Go".

15. If a slip occurs we will apply the strap, unless a foul is called.
16. The strap cannot be applied lower on your wrist than 1 inch.
17. You must start with at least one foot on the ground but after the go it does not matter.
18. If you put your foot on your opponent’s side of the table you are risking it getting knocked off.
19. The wrestlers shoulders cannot go past the center of the table and if position is gained you will get a foul.
20. You are not to wrestle in a position that may hurt your arm and we can stop the match if deemed necessary. The positions are, but not limited to, in a neutral or losing position turning away from your hand, letting your shoulder get in front of your hand. Don’t look away from your hand!

26. Intentional jamming of your opponents elbow will result in a foul for the competitor who is attempting to force an elbow foul.
27. Back pressure to the extent that it pulls your opponent past the center of the table will not be allowed. This infraction will be deemed the same as a false start.
