...The offensive wrestler must place the palm of his hand on or over the back of the elbow. The offensive wrestler's head shall be on or above the spinal column of the offensive player's back. The other arm is placed loosely around the defensive wrestler's body, perpendicular to the long axis of the body, with the palm of the hand placed loosely over the defensive wrestler's navel. A knee or foot may be placed behind the defensive wrestler's feet. The offensive wrestler's legs or feet may not be in contact with the defensive wrestler...
All this detail in the rule is about a wrestler not gaining an advantage over his opponent from the start. The top wrestler can not move his opponent once he is set. Many times the top wrestler will put his weight on the bottom wrestler to get in position. By putting all his weight on the bottom wrestler, he in turn, will probably move the wrestler. This would be ruled a false start. If the top wrestler assumes the correct starting position, the bottom wrestler should not bear his weight.
