What is playing area in Wrestling (NCAA Folkstyle)?

3. Playing Area

The NCAA wrestling mat is a circular competition surface with the following dimensions:

Overall mat area: Minimum 42 feet (12.8 meters) in diameter, providing a large safety zone.
Wrestling area: 32-foot (9.75-meter) inner circle where competition takes place. This is bounded by a 1-inch boundary line.
Starting area: A 10-foot (3.05-meter) circle at the center of the mat, marked with starting lines for the referee's position.
Protection area: The 5-foot apron between the wrestling area boundary and the edge of the mat serves as a safety buffer zone.

The mat must be of uniform thickness (minimum 1 inch / 2.54 cm of shock-absorbing material) and provide adequate cushioning.
Starting lines in the center: two parallel 1-inch lines, 3 feet long, placed 12 inches apart at the center of the 10-foot circle. One line is green (for the wrestler assigned the green ankle band) and one is red.
The wrestling area boundary is clearly marked, typically in a contrasting color from the interior surface.
Mats must be sanitized before each session with an approved cleaning solution to prevent skin infections.

A minimum of 5 feet of clear space must surround the mat on all sides, free of obstructions.
Team benches and the scorer's table are positioned outside this safety zone.
The scorer's table should be elevated or positioned for clear visibility of the mat.
