Rule Changes Being Considered

[Sparky]

Here are some of the rules sent out in the coaches survey to see if there would be interest in changing them.

1. 1 point Near Fall for back exposure of one count
2. Eliminate two-point near fall; instead award three back points for a three count
3. Push-out, but not from a scramble situation
4. Allow MMA-type gear instead of singlets
5. Home Team wears dark unis and away team wears light unis to make it easier for fans to id the teams
6. First take down in the 1st period is worth 3 points
7. Falls are worth 7 points
8. MD at 6 points instead of 8
9. Tech Fall at 10 instead of 15
10. Ridding time is only awarded if you have scored back points
11. When defending a take down it is illegal to claps hands around the attackers torso

4. Terrible. I don't want to see two shirtless guys wrestling each other. I really don't want to see some of the fat heavyweights boobs.
5. Iowa in yellow is a terrible idea
9. This would push the action. 10 is much more realistic than 15.
11. Would be absolutely amazing and I think would make things much more exciting.

The rest of them I could care less.

1. Okay
2. Okay
3. Yes, but define scramble. If I am attacking your leg and you sprawl out of bounds, that's not a scramble.
4. Awful. This seriously was on the survey?
5. No. Totally pointless. There are only two athletes on the mat. Not like football with 22 guys running in multiple directions.
6. Cool.
7. Okay.
8. Okay.
9. I guess those matches where a guy is up 10 end up being run out the clock type deals anyway. Okay.
10. YES!
11. Okay.

12. (Mine) No more intermission after 5 matches. That's got to be the dumbest rule in college wrestling right now. Keep the action going.
