## Structure

[edit]

The Pro Wrestling League includes six franchises, which represent cities throughout India. The teams are formed via auction.[2]

The league adheres to United World Wrestling rules for all weight categories.[3] All the seasons so far of PWL hosted six teams, each consisting of 9 players. During the group stage all the team meet each other once. While the top after group stages qualifies to the playoffs. During group stages out of 9 weight categories 7 category bouts are held, the teams gets to block any one category bouts they want, they have to play all bouts even if they win the match before the last bout. During the playoffs all the 9 category bouts are held and a team wins a match when it wins 5 bouts.[3]
