backtothemat Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Can anyone enlighten me on this? Saw a lot of inconstency today at the Castle Sectional. Offensive wrestler two-feet in and opponent body out seemed to be called both ways (take down or out of bounds). Could have made a difference in a few tight matches.....

You can finish a takedown out of bounds if you gain control as/before you're going out of bounds and finish with your feet in. You cannot newly gain control when the defending wrestler is out of bounds already and the attacking wrestler has only his feet in. it's much different from college.

edb41 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 At the tech sectional all but one official seemed to understand how to call it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCand3 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'd love to see the college out-of-bounds rule adopted! It takes away many of those questionable/close calls and rewards the offensive wrestler for controlling his opponent no matter where they are on the mat.

Madtownxwrestler Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I agree that the college o.b. rule would help remove the grey area but at the same time there would be numerous high school mats that would be unusable since they don't have a need for the extra real estate beyond the circle so why buy them that way. Not that it would be a huge deal but I'd say most schools have at least one mat that wouldn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrq Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Been through this before you don't need a bigger mat you stop wrestling when a body part is off the mat plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1gold Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 The college rule would make it easier on the officials . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe shoes Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Would you want the College Rule for falls as well that take place what we would consider out of bounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1gold Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yes on the pins as well .. It would keep the kids who are Up by a point wrestling instead of running ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardknox89 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Saw a lot of inconsistency at the Northview sectionals too. Mostly due to the tight quarters and the officials wanting to keep the wrestlers safe, which is understandable but could have been done better. College rule would be an improvement but with walls and bleachers to contend with I don't know about safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Bell Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Yes on the pins as well .. It would keep the kids who are Up by a point wrestling instead of running ! I wish there was a like button on this one. I hate that kids use the out of bounds are as a way to flee. it drives opposing coaches nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Larry Doan Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 If you want better and more consitent calls, tell your kids to wrestle in the ten foot circle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Brown Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Can anyone enlighten me on this? Saw a lot of inconstency today at the Castle Sectional. Offensive wrestler two-feet in and opponent body out seemed to be called both ways (take down or out of bounds). Could have made a difference in a few tight matches..... I know that was not the only sectional. At our's there was some very questionable calls out of bounds by an very inexperience ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
