No riding time point. That way you work to score more not just hold them down.
I don't know that I like the point for the other guy for going out of bounds. The stoppage there is for safety. Might be more realistic if a wrestler gets a stalling warning on the 2nd in a period and point is scored on the third. That way you need to work to stay in bounds, but you don't necessarily get penalized for the stoppage in a safety situation.
I wouldn't mind the no points for riding time. Or maybe require more riding time and you earn more points for it so that past a certain point in a period it's less attractive compared to getting another take down and it's more important for the down guy to escape to not give up the higher value of points.
Maybe throw the brick, but don't stop the match unless wrestlers are in a neutral position, or stop and review at next stoppage when a wrestler goes out of bounds and the match resets in the center.
I like the 4 point nearfall. Bigger incentive to work for a turn instead of just riding. I wish high school had the 4 swipes/4 points.
That is a given. The 5 count is being abused. Wrestlers hold ankle for 4 counts then release, then grab it again.
This is the number one thing they need to address. Sitting on a leg and riding with never trying to turn the bottom guy. The list could be longer.
I agree with you, of course you don’t have to let the guy go. You want to be up 2-0 vs 2-1 then the simple thing to do is ride. Not even to mention why not just be up 6-0 with a turn or even pin the guy.
Get rid of stalling. Too subjective. Add a step out and fix the td/escape point differential and make stalling a non-issue.
