Conflict Resolution • See separate IHSA presentation
Definition In/Out of Bounds • If one supporting part of each wrestler is out of bounds, they are out of bounds, WRESTLING SHALL BE STOPPED • Conversely, if both supporting parts of either wrestler are in-bounds, they are considered in-bounds, WRESTLING SHALL CONTINUE (this is a no call-no whistle) • Touching line is out of bounds
What are supporting points? • Supporting points are parts of the body touching, or within the wrestling area, which bears the wrestler’s weight • When down on the mat, the usual points of support are knees, the side of the thigh and/or the buttocks • When on their feet, the usual points of support are feet and knees • In a pinning situation the defensive wrestlers supporting parts maybe scapulas and/or shoulders

Stalling • In order to be effective in calling stalling, referee must have: • Intimate knowledge, understanding, and insight into the sport of wrestling • Official must insist that • Both wrestlers strive to improve and are working for takedowns and escapes
Stalling • Each wrestler is responsible for creating action • Official must be able to: • Recognize difference between efforts and action meant to look ‘busy’ i.e. ‘fake wrestling’ • Discern who can execute and who is the one that will not execute • Show consistency
Stalling • Action/Inaction • Call at end of match must also be called at the beginning • Different situations • Different pressures • Flow of match will vary throughout Criteria and Application of stalling should remain the same
Stalling -Neutral Position • Upper body tie-up without an attempt to take down your opponent • Blocking with forearm, chest against upper body, arm included (Yield sign-explain) • Faking contact • Grasping • One leg, hands, and/or wrist without follow through to takedown • Playing the edge of the mat • No takedown attempts (counters only) • Backing up (three steps)
Stalling –Top (Offensive) Position • Being content to ride your opponent • Trapping an ankle with a tight waist • After breaking opponent down • Securing deep half, or arm bar and staying parallel • While in rear standing position-no attempts to bring opponent to mat
Stalling –Top (Offensive) Position • Applying cross body (grapevine) while opponent is on the way up or is standing • Only visual hand signals indicating stalling • 5 seconds for heel trapped to buttocks (broken down on the mat) • Stalemate calls • Cross body for riding only • Cradle in BUT no turn for back points
Stalling –Bottom (Defensive) Position • Defensive wrestler must improve • Work up head, buttocks or shoulders • Not required to endanger themselves • Basing out (Referee’s position) • Hands on chin, elbows together (posing or boxing position)
Stalling –Bottom (Defensive) Position • Grasping opponent’s hands and holding on (including cross-body ride) • Possible stalemate situation • If repeated, warn bottom man for stalling • Crawling to the edge of the mat
Stalling Three Distinct Mindsets to Stalling • Regular Match (first 6 minutes) • Work towards a fall • Overtime (6th-7th minute) • Take down (usually) wins the match • Tiebreaker • Top wrestler rides opponent out or scores • Bottom wrestler scores
Stalling • Tie breaker information • Repeatedly grasping leg • Stalemate first, then • Stall warning (or penalty) • Rear standing position without attempting to return opponent to mat • Stalemate first, then • Warning (or penalty) for stalling • Lifting opponent into air • Stalemate first, then • Warning (or penalty) for stalling
Fleeing the Mat • To avoid a scoring opportunity • Going out of bounds • Forcing opponent out of bounds • SEEKING A SAFE HAVEN • Referee can award BOTH action/penalty points • Action points (escape/reversal, takedown) • Penalty points –fleeing the mat • Playing the edge of the mat is stalling, NOT fleeing the mat
Special Points of Emphasis • Open discussion at a certified clinic • Points attendees want to discuss • Illegal holds • Refresh Head Referee with caution warnings going into overtime • Stalling- 1st 30 seconds vs. last 30 seconds • Cisco demonstration
