What is that one event people are willing to shiver for in the early spring cold, dive headfirst into the mud for, and even climb a tree just to make sure they don’t miss the best show of the year?
Or perhaps the one where you end up regretting the enthusiastic “yes” you gave in a party mood — because now you’re standing half-naked in front of five hundred people and have to demonstrate your athletic abilities to the crowd?
Of course, it’s the legendary 𝐌𝐔𝐃 𝐖𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 🔥

EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Mud wrestling is a wrestling tournament that takes place in an arena covered in mud.
EVENT RULES:
- There are two competition classes: men and women.
- The length of each match is 90 seconds.
- Each throw is worth 1 point to the thrower – the one on top during falling.
- If both contestants fall on their sides at the same time and it is not clear who the thrower was, then neither side gets a point.
- You get 2 points for an eye-catching throw. The judges will evaluate how eye-catching a throw is.
- If the contestants have an equal number of points at the end of the match, they get 30 seconds of extra time. If a throw is not performed within this time, the judges decide the winner based on who was more active during the match.
- If a throw is made with the help of an unsportsmanlike minor mistake (non-intentional), no point is awarded for the throw and the participant receives a warning.
- Everyone is welcome, no prior wrestling experience is required.
- The participant must familiarize himself with the rules of the competition and fill out the disclaimer sheet.
- The organizers of the event are not responsible for any injuries or damage to the health of the participants that occurred during the event. Each registered participant is responsible for his own safety and health.
- By registering for the competition, the participant confirms that he agrees with all the rules of the competition.
- By registering for the competition, the participant gives his consent to the photographers and videographers moving around the event to record him at the event.
- Competitors are prohibited from scratching, pulling hair, hitting, biting, pushing an opponent’s head into the mud and other unsportsmanlike practices. The first minor mistake is a warning, and the second unsportsmanlike move is a disqualification and victory for the opponent. If an extreme unsportsmanlike shot is used, it is an immediate disqualification.
The organizers of MUD WRESTLING reserve the right to modify the rules and terms of the contest. All participants will be notified of the changes before the start of the competition.
