How is it played? (Rules)

The objective of the fight is to put the opponent face up.You can also win by lifting the other in the air to walk three steps, but seen how slippery the skin seems even more complicated than the classic throwing back.
Unlike the Olympic fight, fighting in oil can be won by getting an effective grip on kisbet. Thus, the pehlivan tries to control his opponent by passing his arm through the last kisbet. Winning through this movement is called paça kazık. Originally, the combats did not have any fixed duration and could last for one or two days, until a man could establish his superiority. But in 1975 the duration was set at 40 minutes for the baspehlivan and 30 minutes for the pehlivan category. If no winner is determined, another 15 minutes of wrestling is added, 10 minutes for the pehlivan category, and where the score is taken into account to determine the winner.
