Match Rules (MAC Format)
1. Set-Up & Start
• Competitors set grip without referee micromanagement
• Referee ensures elbows are down and shoulders squared
• Start is given with: “Close your thumbs, close your hands, GO!”
2. Pins & Wins
• A pin is when any part of the opponent’s knuckles goes below the pin line
• One foul = loss of match
• No running fouls – quick, clean calls
3. Slips & Straps
• Any slip = automatic strap, no restarts
• Straps applied quickly; contest clock pauses only for strap application
4. Match Flow
• Winner stays on the table
• Challenger must be ready within 10 seconds or forfeit
• No pauses unless referee declares (injury/safety)
⸻
Scoring & Titles
• 1 Pin = 1 Point
• Bounty Hunter = Most total pins
• Last Man Standing = Still at table when time ends
• Survivor = Longest continuous run
• Tie Breakers: Sudden-death under MAC rules
Note: Last Man Standing can be challenged if another puller with more pins or longer time on table steps up.
⸻
Endurance & Flow
• Contest clock runs continuously, except for strap applications
• Competitors may hydrate at the table but must stay ready
• Referees will keep pace fast to maintain energy and fairness
⸻
Conduct & Fair Play
• Respect athletes, referees, and the game
• Unsportsmanlike conduct = disqualification
• Referee’s word is final
