Double boot rides and stalling



me and willie are awfully close to being simpatico here.

adopt the free release after 30 (or 45 or 60) second ride, rather than the RT point at the end. more action during the match!
I can see a free release at 3 mins, that pretty much guarantees riding time. But that shifts the dynamic of the match for someone that is dominant on top, but meh on their feet. Or if someone is sitting on a lead and just burning clock.

If we were going this route, I'd just rather see a full change to freestyle and forget riding. That would benefit us for international wrestling too.
 
don't hate the player(s); hate the game.

the top rules are effing horrible (for the sport and for common sense)

but as long as refs are gonna be cowards, you might as well get the job done and wrestle and coach to it.

(this is directed at absolutely no program specifically. the best do it. and it needs to be effing fixed)
I believe the change of points awarded for a takedown to 3, and limit a ride without a turn to 30 seconds, would take care of this fairly efficiently. It would make for far more action, and quite frankly end mismatches much quicker and merciful.

Getting taken down 15 times might break a kid’s spirit. But he still scored fifteen points against a hammer. That’s the part I don’t like.

It’s free willy after a set amount of time, if desired.

I favor something like that. Also wondered about having the one with most points/takedowns in each period decide whether up/down/neutral in next period. If draw, both on feet. If you want to decide, then score more or at least try. Just spitballing....or drooling on myself??
