Accumulation of 6 negative points eliminated the wrestler.

When three wrestlers remained, they advanced to a final round.

These 3 wrestlers each faced each other in a round-robin (with earlier results counting, if any had wrestled another before); record within the medal round determined medals, with bad points breaking ties.
