FREESTYLE WRESTLING RULES

Freestyle Wrestling allows the use of attacking the upper and lower body in offense and defense. A match can be won in the following ways:

Win by Fall: The object of the entire wrestling match is to attain victory by what is known as the fall. A fall, also known as a pin, occurs when one wrestler holds both of his opponents' shoulders on the mat simultaneously.Win by Technical Superiority: If at any point during the match, a wrestler gains a ten-point lead over his opponent, the wrestler would win the match by technical fall.

Scoring:

(5 points):5 points are awarded for a takedown brought about by a throw of grand amplitude (a throw in which a wrestler brings his opponent off of the mat and controls him so that his feet go directly above his head) either from the standing or par terre position into a direct and immediate danger position.

(4 points): 4 points are awarded for a takedown brought about by a throw of grand amplitude as in the 5-point throw, but does not put the opponent into a direct and immediate danger position or if the opposing wrestler maintains contact with at least one hand on the mat. Four points are also awarded for a takedown brought about by a short amplitude throw that does not bring his opponent in a direct and immediate danger position or for a takedown in which a wrestler's opponent is taken from his feet or his stomach to his back or side (a throw of short amplitude) so that he is in the danger position.

(2 points):Two points are awarded for a takedown brought about by a wrestler taking his opponent from his feet to his stomach or side such that his back or shoulders are not exposed to the mat and while in this position holding him down with control.

Reversal (1 point): A wrestler is awarded one point for a reversal when the wrestler gains control over his opponent from a defensive position (when the wrestler is being controlled by his opponent)

Exposure also called the Danger Position (2 points): A wrestler is awarded points for exposure when the wrestler exposes his opponent's back to the mat for several seconds. 

Out-of-Bounds (1 point): Whenever a wrestler places his foot in the protection area, the match is stopped, and one point is awarded to his opponent. 

Passivity (1 point): A point awarded to the attacking wrestler whose opponent flees the hold or refuses to start.
