Item 13:

SUDDEN DEATH IN DUAL MEETS AND TOURNAMENTS

 

No longer will there be ties or draws for individual matches. Instead, the overtime tie-breaker will be utilized to determine the winner. The new procedure, as revised for the 2006-07 season, is as follows.

 

Scenario: The the first three periods end up in a tie, 1 to 1, with Wrestling A scoring the first escape.

 

Sudden Victory (Overtime Period): During tournament and dual meet action, when the wrestlers are tied at the end of the three regular periods, they will then wrestle an overtime period which will be one minute in length with no rest between the regular match and the overtime. The overtime period will begin with both matmen in the neutral position. The wrestler who scores the first point(s) will be declared the winner.

 

If no winner is determined by the end of the one minute overtime period, 30-second tie-breakers in the referee's position will be wrestled.

 

Tiebreaker I:

The disk is tossed to determine the wrestler who has choice. The wrestler who wins the toss may choose top, bottom, or defer (Neutral cannot be chosen). Wrestler B wins the toss and selects down. As soon as the referee blows the whistle, Wrestler B scores an escape. At this point, the match continues to the conclusion of the of the thirty seconds. Before the end of the first tiebreaker, Wrestler B also scores a takedown. The score at this time is Wrestler B: 4 and Wrestler A: 1.

 

Tiebreaker II:

It is now Wrestler A's choice; he also selects down. During the second tiebreaker period, Wrestler A likewise scores an escape and a takedown. The score is tied 4 to 4.

 

Ultimate Tiebreaker:

At this point, Wrestler A is given the choice of position because he scored the first point (an escape) in the match. However, the wrestler whose opponent has received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty at anytime during the match will have the choice of position. The unsportsmanlike conduct penalty will supersede the first points scored in the regulation match. There is no neutral, but the wrestler may defer. The Ultimate Tiebreaker winner is determined the same as in the past. The wrestler who scores the first point(s) in this 30-second tie-breaker will be declared the winner. However, if no scoring occurs during this time, the top wrestler will be declared the winner. If Wrestler A rides Wrestler B; Wrestler A wins with the ride out point. If Wrestler B scores, Wrestler B wins.

 

Points of Emphasis:

 

1. At any point during the three-tiebreaker process, the match is over if a fall occurs.

 

2. In Tiebreakers I and II, stalling will be call the same as in the regular match and Overtime Period.

 

3. As in the past, stalling will be indicated differently in the Ultimate Tiebreaker. A wrestler will not be warned or penalized for stalling when he controls his opponent with a traditional riding maneuver.
