The kokpar field is divided equally into two teams. Parameters of the kokpar field: length - 220 m, width - 70 m. The finish area is set to 3 m in diameter (circle). The distance between the finish circles of both teams is 180 m. From the center to the “circle” - 90 m. From the “finish” to the outer line of the playing field - 20 m. The penalty area from the circle is 35 m, the diameter of the central circle and the circles on both sides is 8 m.
Team captains determine their finish line by drawing lots and plant their flag at the finish line. The competition consists of two stages of 20 minutes each. There is a 10-minute break between periods. After the break, the teams change the finish line. During the competition, no more than two people should be near the team: 1 coach, 1 representative.
Victory goes to the team that was able to throw the most “serke” (dummy) into its circle (finish). The weight of the Serke (dummy goat) should not exceed 30-33 kg. If two teams are tied before the end of the regular time of the match, a break of 5 minutes is given, the finish is postponed and an additional 10-minute period is given. Meanwhile, the team that makes the first throw (salym) into the circle wins. If no commands make throws at this time, then the winner is determined by the method of combat. That is, from two teams, one player goes inside the circle in the middle. The referee throws the serke into the center of the two players; whichever player grabs the serke and places it in his circle, a point is counted. In this direction, three matches are held with three players from each team. The total number of points determines the winning team. Three minutes are given for each fighting method; if there are no points at this time, the referee stops the fight, and the next pair is called and begins the fight. During the fight, the serke leaves the field (out), the fight is stopped, and the next fight continues. The day before the start of the games, the jury for the sport, together with team representatives, hold a technical meeting at which a draw is held, and depending on the number of applications submitted, the procedure for holding the competition is determined.
Competitions are held according to the rules of the Kokpar Federation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
