This is just a reminder of the new rules in place for collegiate wrestling this season.
Committee approves rule changes
1) Stalling
Stalling has been more clearly defined. (It's a long list. You can read them all at the link above.) A wrestler cannot be disqualified for stalling anymore.
2) Injury Timeouts (non-bleeding)
At the first injury timeout, the opponent will get to choose top, bottom or neutral at the restart.
At the second injury timeout, the opponent gets a point.
The third injury timeout results in a default with the win going to the opponent.
3) Video review
For individual-advancement tournaments only, a coach may request a video review for recording points, timing, match results or procedural errors only. The referee decides whether to grant the review. Only the official mat-side video may be used.
