•Prior to change:
		•The rule has apparently not been clearly communicated.
	•Reason for change:
		•This change should eliminate any misunderstanding of the intent of the stoppage rule.
		•The decision on when to award additional near-fall points for acts by the defensive wrestler has been clarified; in fact, the entire Section (Rule 5-11-2f through i) was re-written.
	•Rule 5-11-2f-i:
		•f.  If the defensive wrestler is injured or bleeding occurs in an imminent near-fall situation or before the two-point near-fall criteria of a two count have been met, the match will be stopped and a two-point near-fall awarded;
		•g.  If the defensive wrestler is injured or bleeding occurs after the two-point near-fall criteria of a two count have been met and before the three-point near-fall criteria of a five count have been earned, the match will be stopped and a three-point near fall shall be awarded;
		•h.  If the defensive wrestler is injured or indicates an injury or bleeding occurs after a three-point near fall is earned, the match will be stopped and a four-point near fall shall be awarded;
		•i.  In f-h, when an imminent or near-fall situation is stopped due to a defensive wrestler committing a technical violation, applying an illegal hold, committing unnecessary roughness or unsportsmanlike act, which cannot be corrected and requires the referee to stop the match, the match will be stopped and a penalty point(s) shall be awarded.
