About Folly Beach

Folly Beach is located 11 miles (18 km) south of downtown Charleston, SC. Known to Charleston locals as "the Edge of America", Folly Beach is home to numerous surf spots, the most popular being the Washout, 10th Street and the Folly Beach Pier.

Despite its usually calm conditions, Folly Beach has gained prominence as one of the more popular surf spots along the East Coast.

Folly Beach is an eclectic beach community with surf shops, restaurants, gift shops, offices, and bars along Center Street; the main road and gateway to the community.

Whether you're an active wrestler or a former competitor, this is a unique opportunity to compete in a different way -- on beautiful Folly Beach on the coast in Charleston, SC.

Wrestlers compete on sand, inside a 23’ diameter circle
from a standing position only - no ground wrestling. From there, the rules are simple:

- 1 period, maximum of 3 minutes

- 3 points wins the match (no fall)
1 point for a Takedown or Push-out.
2 points for a Takedown with Back Exposure

Tiebreaker criteria:
1st - Wrestler with 2 point move, 2nd - Last person to score. If no score after 3 minutes...match keeps going until someone scores.

That's it. Matches go quickly so everyone has opportunities to wrestle multiple times. And it's all done on the beach, so there's sun, surf and good times ready for everyone.

There will be men's and women's competition and weight classes will be created based on registered contestants.
