Questions for TAE or other historians or "older" wrestlers

[AJ]

I recieved a Bellmont Wrestling Program booklet today.  It was of course an awesome book with a lot of information.  As I was looking at the career wins list I noticed that they had wrestlers with some ties on their records.  My question is this:

 

How were ties scored during a dual?  Did neither team recieve points? Did both get 3 points?  And when did we change the rules to where there could be no ties in matches anymore?

In a dual when a match ended in a tie, each team recieved 2 team points.

 

I can't recall when the overtime procedure went in for dual meets.

In matches, there was overtime in tournaments where you had to have a winner for advancement purposes.  I can remember calling matches in a sectional where there were 3 overtime periods wrestled just like the regulation match.  If it was still tied at the end of the 9 minutes, the referee (and there were no asst. refs then) had to decide who he thought was the better wrestler.  You don't think that didn't cause some uproars?  Sheesh.....  The outcome would be stated as, "Winning by referee's decision.......".
