During tournament competition, how many team personnel are permitted on chairs at the edge of the mat?

In tournament competition, only one team personnel is allowed to occupy a chair at the edge of the mat. This regulation is in place to ensure that there is an organized and manageable presence at the mat's edge, allowing for clear communication between the coach and the athlete without becoming overly crowded or chaotic. Having a single representative helps maintain focus on the match itself while still providing the necessary guidance or support to the competing wrestler.

While it might seem useful to have more individuals present, having multiple personnel can lead to confusion or distractions during competition, which is why limiting it to one is seen as beneficial for the athletes and the integrity of the match.
