Games By Gark - Zone Wrestling

The concept is simple. You divide the wrestling area into two zones, one for each wrestler to be safe within. Pins or submissions do not count against a wrestler located within their safe (or home) zone. To win a fall, the pin or submission must occur when a wrestler's shoulders are not within their safe zone.

Rounds begin with each wrestler positioned in their unsafe zone.

Originally, two twin beds were used and positioned a few feet apart. Preferably, you can buy a king fitted sheet (or whatever size) and use a permanent marker to draw a line down the center, first taking care to place something under the sheet to prevent the marker from ruining whatever is under the sheet.

Handicapping is also very easy. Maybe one person can only lose on the couch while the other can lose anywhere. Or the sizes of the safe areas can be different. Use your imagination!!
