3 pts for a takedown. No riding time point without turn or back pts. 2-pt and 4-pt near falls eliminated and replaced with a 3 pt near fall after 3 second count instead.
Also changes regarding riding on top. Personally, I like nearly all of the proposed changes because they incentivize action. My only gripe is eliminating the 2 and 4-pt nearfalls -- both of which incentivize action. One of the rules committee members said they eliminated the 4-pt near fall to "balance out the 3 pt takedown" rule proposal....which makes no sense considering all the other proposed changes are designed to create higher scoring and higher action matches. It would be easy to simply score a 2-pt near fall after a 2 count, 3-pt near fall after a 3 count, and 4-pt near fall after a 4 count -- very easy for the refs to work with that.
