Explaination of the Take-Down Rule:
When a player crosses into the strike zone area, that is, the red matted area around the goal pole, a player can kick his or her opponent twice in succession and may initiate a take-down and grapple. However, after the player kicks their opponent twice, the opponent can also initiate the take-down. In other words, if either or of the players kicks twice in succession then it becomes legal for both to initiate the throw to the ground.
Combaton is a martial art team sport.

Simultaneous Possession of the Baton
In a simultaneous possession when two opposing players have a hold on the baton, a fight-off results to determine which team gains possession. In a SIMULTANEOUS POSSESSION IN WHICH THERE ARE THREE OR MORE OPPOSING PLAYERS INVOLVED, the coach(s) of the team(s) will determine which player participates in the fight-off.
