For dual meets, how far must all team personnel, including coaches, stay from the edge of the mat?

In dual meets, it is critical for the safety of both the participants and the spectators to maintain a safe distance between the edge of the mat and team personnel, including coaches. The requirement for all team personnel to stay at least 10 feet away from the edge of the mat helps to ensure that there is enough space for wrestlers to perform safely without the risk of accidental collisions with sideline individuals. This distance also allows referees and officials to have clear visibility of the match and prevents interference during the competition. Maintaining this distance is an important aspect of promoting a safe and organized environment during wrestling meets.
