Ranggeln, Ranggln, is a sub-sport of wrestling with a long tradition in the Eastern Alps.
The aim of a fight is to bring the opponent to the ground with both shoulder blades using various holds and throws within a six-minute fight time in order to win the fight and move on to the next round. If the six-minute fight time has expired without there being a winner, the fight is considered a draw, which means that both participants are eliminated.
The winner of a competition acquires the title of Hogmoar (also Hagmoar or Hoagmoar).[1] This term comes from Hag (hedge, property boundary) and Meier (administrator) and used to describe an old office of free farmers with regard to jurisdiction in property matters.
