General Wrestling Scoring Procedures
High school
matches are 6 minutes long, with three
2-minute periods.
(1) Takedowns are
scored when one wrestler brings the opponent down to the mat from a standing
position. Additional points are awarded when a wrestler takes the opponent
directly to his or her back. Common takedowns include single legs, double legs,
high crotches, headlocks, bodylocks, shrugs, and fireman's carries.
(2) Reversals are
scored when a wrestler, controlled by the opponent on the mat, executes a move
that allows the wrestler to assume a controlling position on top of the
opponent, thus reversing the situation. Common reversals include switches,
rolls, and hip heists.
(3) Exposing an
opponent's back to the mat is a scoring technique in all styles of
wrestling. In international wrestling, all a wrestler must do to earn points is
tilt the opponent's back toward the mat, breaking a 90° angle. In collegiate and
secondary school wrestling, a wrestler must not only tilt the rival's back
toward the mat, breaking a 45° angle, but also hold the back in this position to
score points. Common "pinning combinations" include the half-nelson, bar arm,
cradle, and tilt leg ride.
(4) Escapes are
scored when a wrestler, controlled by the
opponent on the mat, frees himself or
herself and moves to a standing position,
facing the opponent.
