  1. An Intro to Wrestling A beginner’s guide to high school score keeping!

  2. The Basics • Two types of matches: • Varsity with three 2 minute time periods • Junior Varsity with two 2 minute periods and one 1 minute period • Between the first and second, and the second and third periods there will be a coin flip to determine which athlete is in control.

  3. Hand Signals • Referees will use four basic hand signals to convey what score to record. They are: • Takedown • Reversal • Nearfall • Escape

  4. When the referee flips a coin to determine control, there are four options an athlete can choose. They are: • Up • Down • Neutral • Defer • *A deferral can only happen between the first and second periods, and means that the winner of the coin toss allows the other athlete to choose.

  5. Point Values Basic Point Values • Takedown= 2 points • Reversal= 2 points • Nearfall= 2 or 3 points • Escape= 1 point • The referee will specify how much they are awarding a nearfall!

  6. Score SheetThis is a basic score sheet Athlete 1 Final Score Period 1 Period 3 Period 2 Athlete 2

  7. How to Write Score • After the referee has thrown the score, record it on the athlete’s side like this: T 2 R 2 N or N 3 E 1 Takedown Reversal Nearfall Escape

  8. Team Score • Teams earn points when a wrestler wins his or her match. A point value is awarded depending on the way a wrestler wins. This score is separate from a Final Score, and is called the Running Score. At the end of a meet or tourney, it is added up to make the Team Score, which determines the team’s standing.

  9. Team Score Values • Win by Fall- Also called a Pin, earns the wrestler 6 Team Points • Technical Win- When a wrestler is up by 15 or more points, earns the wrestler 5 Team Points • Major Decision- When a wrestler wins by 8 or more points, earns the wrestler 4 Team Points • Minor Decision- When a wrestler wins by 7 or less points, earns the wrester 3 Team Points
