046-5 Wyo. Code R. § 5-4

Current through April 27, 2019
Section 5-4 - Sweeps

(a) This section establishes a minimum standard for sweeps. The Board or a Board Representative and a promoter may agree to additional rules and definitions regarding sweeps for each event. Contestants may execute sweeps only by making a sweeping motion to the padded area of an opponent's foot with the padded area of the user's foot, also known as "boot to boot".

(b) Contact to any other part of the leg (thigh, knee, shin, and sides of the shin from any angle) while delivering a sweep shall constitute a foul and will be treated accordingly.

(c) A sweep is not a kick and shall not be judged as such.

(d) Any technique thrown following a sweep must land on the opponent prior to any part of the opponent's body touching the ring floor. If the technique lands on some part of the opponent's body other than the soles of the opponent's feet and the feet are touching the floor, the referee may call a foul.

(e) A successful sweep is not considered a knockdown.
