F/S: G-R terminology

I was reading thru the new edition of WIN and came upon the term "ball pull". What does that mean? I understand that it replaces coin flips, but not having had a chance to see any Olympic wrestling(a pox upon NBC!!), I never saw it.

Help me out here??

They have two balls in a black bag and one is blue and another one red. The principle is the same - after the first minute of the round the judge pulls out a ball to determine which wrestler will attack first.

Oh yeah I've seen those. I believe that the bag happens to be manipulated by the judges.
