The head official will conduct a skin check of all wrestlers prior to the start of the event. The official will make the decision whether or not a wrestler can compete. If a wrestler has a skin condition, the wrestler must have a current physician's statement at the skin check which clears him for competition. Officials may disqualify a wrestler if a skin condition appears active
