| •Prior to change: |
||
| •The previous definition indicated a match started with the action of
the first period. |
||
| •Reason for change: |
||
| •This change was necessary to support the current interpretation of
penalizing a wrestler who reports to compete and is improperly equipped. |
||
| •Rule 5-18-2: |
||
| •A match begins when the proper wrestler reports to the scorer’s
table in dual matches and tournaments until the conclusion of wrestling.
The conclusion of wrestling occurs when the time expires at the end of the
third period, when overtime ends, or when a fall, technical fall,
disqualification or a default or forfeit occurs. (NOTE: This is the correct
definition for a match. Rule 5-18-2 on page 25 of the rules book is not the
correct definition.) |
