The reward for succeeding on bottom is not being on bottom

Guys just treat it as a free point against everyone that isn't an elite rider right now Get rid of it and riding time. Instead of taking bottom by default, you'll see guys pick the position they can actually score offensive points from. Mat wrestling will be a top guy trying to score points from top. Not a bottom guy trying to escape for an easy point and a top guy trying to stop them.

With the season at an end ... what are proposed rule changes to consider?**
HokieToph • 03/27/24 02:25 PM ET
I think they’ve got to get a more consistent handle on takedowns when the
GreenvilleVT • 03/28/24 11:36 AM ET
Good luck getting rid of the longstanding tradition of yelling for stalling
Pylons • 03/28/24 05:59 PM ET
Yeah it’s a big aspiration but maybe, just maybe
GreenvilleVT • 03/28/24 08:07 PM ET
This is going back to an old rule, but
CTDad • 03/28/24 11:08 AM ET
Major decision from 8 to 10
VTwinsdad • 03/28/24 06:58 AM ET
Maybe add a minor@8 major@12 and TF@15. for .5, 1, or 1.5 team pts.**
Hokie Flyer • 03/28/24 08:21 AM ET
Slight disagree here
Jmeck77 • 03/28/24 07:59 AM ET
I agree with you. Most matches with two competitive wrestlers still end
goodbadugly • 03/28/24 11:07 AM ET
3 points for a reversal.**
ChEHokie78 • 03/27/24 08:11 PM ET
NONE
Rokie08 • 03/27/24 07:56 PM ET
I think the only rule change that's good
Nafeikoh • 03/27/24 09:02 PM ET
Disagree
Rokie08 • 03/27/24 09:10 PM ET
I would like to see two:
Hokie Flyer • 03/27/24 06:19 PM ET
I definitely like the shot clock idea. **
UpperQuad • 03/27/24 08:25 PM ET
Somewhat agree on 1, disagree on 2. Some guys just ride tough
ValveHokie • 03/27/24 07:29 PM ET
So... freestyle?
Nafeikoh • 03/27/24 06:31 PM ET
Kinda but some differences.
Hokie Flyer • 03/27/24 06:47 PM ET
Clearly define reaction time
donjfs3 • 03/27/24 08:16 PM ET
This is the answer!
Nafeikoh • 03/27/24 09:19 PM ET
Penn State wrestlers only get 1 pt for a takedown**
VPIGUY • 03/27/24 04:56 PM ET
Clearly define the Henson/Arrington position.
CTDad • 03/27/24 03:09 PM ET
From what I saw at NCAAs it was almost exclusively no takedown.
Hokiemacho • 03/27/24 04:34 PM ET
Flo guys talked about it on a podcast.
Hikinghokie • 03/27/24 09:52 PM ET
Who were they saying didn’t get the takedown, Caleb or Arrington?
ChEHokie78 • 03/29/24 05:41 PM ET
No takedown for anybody
Hikinghokie • 03/30/24 11:24 AM ET
Thanks.**
ChEHokie78 • 03/30/24 12:47 PM ET
Agreed
Jmeck77 • 03/28/24 08:02 AM ET
I would love to see points given for gut wrenches/leg laces
Baltimore Hokie • 03/27/24 02:51 PM ET
Throw in a step out point too.
Hikinghokie • 03/27/24 02:32 PM ET
That is so bogus. A point for succeeding on bottom. **
TomTurkey • 03/27/24 05:38 PM ET
The reward for succeeding on bottom is not being on bottom ◄
Hikinghokie • 03/27/24 07:40 PM ET
3 point reversal needs to happen
Hikinghokie • 03/27/24 02:30 PM ET
Agreed
Jmeck77 • 03/28/24 08:07 AM ET
What if reverses and escapes were 4 points, with takedowns only 3?
EDGEMAN • 03/28/24 07:04 AM ET
4 points for an escape?
Hikinghokie • 03/28/24 11:49 AM ET
Thought this before season started , but really grew 2 like 3 -2 ratio.
hokie576 • 03/27/24 07:41 PM ET
I feel the same way about it.**
Hokiemacho • 03/27/24 08:06 PM ET
Ditto ... love the 3 point TD**
SimV Hokie • 03/27/24 10:19 PM ET
I disagree. Initiating offense should rewarded more than a reversal.**
Hokiemacho • 03/27/24 04:47 PM ET
A reversal is offense
Hikinghokie • 03/27/24 07:41 PM ET
Tell that to all the wrestlers that still go get them.**
Hokiemacho • 03/27/24 08:04 PM ET
Mathematically, he's right
Nafeikoh • 03/27/24 09:37 PM ET
Agreed. You shouldn't be penalized for funking your way out of bottom.**
ElbertoHokie • 03/27/24 04:40 PM ET
The flash takedown + reversals killed some guys this year **
donjfs3 • 03/27/24 03:37 PM ET
if stalling on top, riding time stops until offense point scored or start
HokieToph • 03/27/24 02:27 PM ET
with new 3-point TD, I propose TF worth 5 points only if backpoints awarded
HokieToph • 03/27/24 02:26 PM ET
