The teams then battle it out in a winner-stays-on format, until one or both of the teams run out of competitors to step on the mats. If all 5 grapplers on one team are eliminated and the other team still has one or more left, the team with competitors remaining is declared the winner. In the event that both teams have no more competitors left, the grappler in the final match with the least penalties wins the match for his team. If they are even, then the team that has the least total penalties between all of their members is declared the winner. In the event that the teams have an equal number of penalties, the referee will decide the winning team based on which grappler in the final fight was more aggressive.
