Part I. The nature and system of carrying out competitions
Article 1. The nature of competitions

Universal fight is a dual event sports competition. The first part involves clearing a special strip of
obstacles. The second part, which follows the first, is a hand–hand fight in a ring.
For children of 6-13years old there is a second type of dual event – the match is organized on tatami or
fighting carpet including the elements of free-style wrestling, judo, sambo and other kinds of fights.
Competitions are divided in the following types:
a) individual
b) team
c) individual-team
The type of competition is defined by the Competition Regulations for each individual case (see appendix
1).
In individual competitions only individual places of participants are established.
Team competitions are competitions between teams. In this event the places won by teams are
established on the grounds of the results of a competition.
Individual-team competitions establish the individual places of participants, and the place of a team is
determined according the individual results of the members of the team, in compliance with the
Competition Regulations.
Article 2. The system of carrying out competitions
Competitions are carried out in compliance with the principle of removal of the participant from the
competition after he is beaten for the first time (the Olympic system). The winner of the final contest
takes the first place, and the loser of the final contest takes the second one. The athletes who lose in
semi-final get the third place. The competitions can be carried out as circular or mixed system under
special conditions, separate weight categories.
5
For the children of 6-13 years old competitions can be made with being-out after the first defeat, after two
defeats or following the circle system (with a limited quantity of participants in a weight category up 4
people). Winners and the places of the participants are identified according the «Regulations» and
«Rules» of the fight competitions with the circle system.
The order of matches between fighters (or teams) is normally established by means of a draw. In the
process of the draw the strongest fighters and those fighters, who belong the same team can be
re-allocated, if this is allowed by the Regulations.
Formula of an individual competition
Initially participants compete clear special obstacles strip (on parallel strips).
The person who finishes first is the winner of the first event and receives one point.
One minute after the finish on obstacle strip, the fighters are called in a ring and the second event begins
– the hand–hand fight in a ring.
For the children of 6-9 years old: the sportsmen are called tatami (the fight carpet) 1 minute after the finish.
Number of rounds for children of 10-11 years – 2 rounds 1 minute each, in the final – 1,5 minutes.
The number of rounds and their length depends on the age and the qualification of sportsmen, and also on
the stage and ranking of a competition (article 3), which are established in the Regulations.
The victory in a ring competition can be clear, in which case the fight in the ring and the contest finish
before the appointed time. Otherwise, participant receives one point for each round that he wins.
The overall winner of the double event is the person who obtained ahead-of-time victory in either the
obstacle strip or the ring fight, and if this did not happen, the winner is the person with the most points when
the results of the two events are added gether.
Formula of a team competition
A team competition consists of consecutive individual matches (one for each weight category starting with
light weights), where teams present their fighters who have been registered and weighed in.
The following criteria are used determining the winners of team competitions: the number of victories in
individual matches, the quality of victories, and, when the number of victories is equal, the victory of
matches in the heaviest weight category (see appendix 3, 1).

overcoming the obstacle strip in the reverse way with getting over the obstacles by the same means or by
changing them, for example:
● «horse» – overcome by crawling under it
● «tunnel» – overcome by crawling with legs forward (reverse movement)
● «snake» (labyrinth) – overcome by running around (360 degrees) 3 handstands standing in one
row
● «bench» – overcome by jumping over the bench with both legs from one side another.
Organizers of the child competitions are entitled propose other variants of equipping the obstacle strip but all of
this must be included in the Regulations of the competition.

Participants finish by running marked finish line.

Chief referee___________________
Chief secretary_______________________

During a team competition the team receives 1 point for the victory of each of its members in a pair, and
0 points for defeats or absence of a participant. If the team does present any participant or if he fails
appear in the ring the adversary obtains a clear victory with 00 min 00 sec timing.
A team received the greatest amount of points, is considered be the winner of the team match.
If teams have equal number of points, then advantage is held by the team which has:
a) the greatest amount of final points received by all the team members in all the rounds
b) the greatest amount of clear victories in individual matches
c) the smallest amount of time in which these victories were gained
d) the greatest amount of points received for victories in the ring
e) the greatest amount of victories, judged by points, received in the obstacles strip.
If the results of the team competition are equal, the team that has won a match of the heaviest weight
category is considered be the winner of the competition.
Winning of the team competition gives a team an opportunity participate in matches in the next round.
When making up team pairs and allocating final places the teams which were withdrawn
from the competition, appendix 2.1 of part II is used.
36
If teams from which fighters have been withdrawn on the doctor’s advice end up consisting
of fewer competitors than is allowed by the Rules (see p. 2) then the place is given according the result
which the team had at the moment when the last fighter was withdrawn (i.e., the moment when the team
became o small).
The team is not given any place if it became o small because of the non-appearance of the fighters at the
weighing procedure or if they were withdrawn from the competition by the chief referee for violating the
Rules.

fighters who are part of the team. The composition of teams and the amount of participants in each
weight category is indicated in the Championship’s Regulations. Otherwise, each team should have one

consideration the place he was given and in accordance with the principle: 1 place = 1 point, 2 place = 2
points, and so on. In the latter case the team must present the full number of participants. The team
receives an extra penalty point for each test participant who fails appear. The number of such points is
equal the number of the participants in the weight category in which the test participant failed appear (or
in the weight category with the largest number of participants) plus one penalty point.

When two or more teams have an equal amount of points the advantage is given the team in which the
participants have consequently:
a) the greatest amount of first, second etc. places
b) the greatest amount of participants in those weight categories where first places are occupied by
participants; the greatest amount of victories won by test participants; the highest quality of these
victories and defeats
c) the greater amount of participants in those weight categories where test fighters were given second
