Under the 2026 WCL Rulebook (Article 11), in the Canadian U17 (ages 15-16) and U15 (ages 13-14) age groups the suplay, the salto, the full nelson from the front and the side, and the west point ride are illegal. They are stopped immediately and considered brutality, which the rulebook describes as "given a caution one point". Side throws are allowed. Repeated occurrences during a single event could result in disqualification.
Wrestlers must compete in the age group they were born in. Age is counted in the calendar year of the event: U19 is 17-18, U17 is 15-16 and U15 is 13-14. Weigh-in for Canadian age categories lasts one hour the day before competition.
