It looks like a narrow beard or soul patch topped with an English Mustache.

Goatee Freestyle
Go crazy but keep the area between the temple and goatee clean, min of 4 cm must be clean shaven.

Imperial / Kaiser Beard
Hair from the upper lip extends to the cheeks and turns upwards, but must be clean shaven for at least 4 cm between the temple and beard.

Partial Beard Freestyle
Anything goes above the chin (no chin hairs) with the exception of 4 cm between the temple and hair.

Sideburns
An American addition and not common for all competitions, the sideburns can touch the temple.
