Rule 1.9, WR-13Game-Management Responsibility • Photographers using still or motion devices, excluding official video review equipment, shall not be permitted within 5 feet of the edge of the wrestling mat.
Rule 1.12.4, WR-13Use of Tape or Decals on Headgear • The use of tape or decals on headgear is prohibited. Clean, fresh* athletic tape is permissible on the headgear if used for medical purposes only. Taping cross straps is not allowed. * Wrestler is to re-tape for each match he/she wrestles.
Rule 3.21.3d, WR-32Mat-Side Video Review • New Added Interpretation that is not covered in rule book: When the official equipment malfunctions, referees are not to use any equipment (for instance a stop watch, a different camera, or a different video monitor) to correct any problems arising with timing or scoring during a match. The ruling on the mat stands.
Rule 5.9, WR-56Stalling • When a referee recognizes stalling, the first violation will be a warning, the second violation will result in 1 point, the third violation is 1 point, the fourth violation is 1 point and the fifth violation will result in a disqualification. • Recall that on page WR-62 there were a number of mistakes: • Note A should read: Any combination of four penalties, excluding cautions, warnings, stalling or fleeing, false starts, and assuming incorrect starting positions, accumulated during a match (including overtime) will result in disqualification. • Example of cumulative Infractions: do not include stalling or fleeing as examples. • In superscript 3, stalling and fleeing penalties follow the sequence in first bullet above and are separate from Note A.
Rule 5.9.2.3, WR-57Stalling • Remember, a wrestler shall be called for stalling if kicking out from a lower leg hold when this action results in the defending wrestler going out of the wrestling area. A point shall be awarded only if a prior stall warning was called on that wrestler.
