That’s not how that rule is written at all.

“Art. 5. In Bounds. Competitors are considered in bounds if any part of either wrestler is on or inside the boundary line and all body parts are still on the padded protection area surrounding the boundary line.” Mac was not on the same mat he left the padded protection area surrounding the boundary line. Out of bounds, no takedown and a restart. You could’ve and should’ve hit him for stalling but he’s winning 2-2 with 4 seconds left in that situation.

Cant waste a brick to make him feel better. He gave it up unfortunately.

They can use all the room they need if they have it.
JoesterVT 03/19/26 02:34 PM ET
Still on mat. That’s only for hardwood or cement. **

They were on padded protection area.**

Nothing to challenge, clear TD.**

Agreed 100%, unless he though there was a technical violation
JoesterVT 03/19/26 02:24 PM ET
What's the harm in challenging? Mac certainly wanted it**
hoosnowahokie 03/19/26 02:24 PM ET
We can only lose 3 challenges all tournament **
JoesterVT 03/19/26 02:25 PM ET
Only have a limited number**
IV_Hokie12 03/19/26 02:24 PM ET
For the entire tournament?**
hoosnowahokie 03/19/26 02:25 PM ET
Yes...we have 3 bricks by virtue of having 10 guys
JoesterVT 03/19/26 02:27 PM ET
Gracias again.**
hoosnowahokie 03/19/26 02:29 PM ET
Just watching on TV is seemed to clearly be a TD with about 2 secs left**
JoesterVT 03/19/26 02:22 PM ET
Mac not happy about that **
RRHokie90 03/19/26 02:22 PM ET
perhaps he should open up his offense in the first 7 minutes of the match**
HokieToph 03/19/26 02:25 PM ET
I guess....he was up against a considerably higher seed...
