Final X June 10th

Yianni still has difficulty generating his own offense. I think he loses.
 
Marsteller 3-2 winner in match 1.

* edit challenge for singlet pull against Marsteller

Confirmed 1 pt to Burroughs 3-3, but Marsteller corner now asking about timing of challenge....
 
It actually wasn't. The pull happened at 15 seconds. The brick came out WAY too late. Should not have been allowed.

If USAW wants to follow the actual rules, they should flip that result right now like Bartlett-Lee.

Was wondering about the timing of it. Is there a hard rule for how much time can pass?

JB called for the challenge himself though, right after the sequence ended (right when the match ended). Does that factor in at all? Probably some gamesmanship on his part too to wait until 0s on the clock as he knew it would be the decider then

"The coach must request the challenge by pushing a button provided to him immediately after the refereeing body has awarded or failed to award points to the contested situation."

"No challenge can be requested after the end of the regular time of a period, except when the points are added to the scoreboard after the referee’s whistle or in case action occurred just before the time is over. The coach has 5 seconds from the time the questioned score is posted on the official scoreboard to request a challenge."

15 seconds is definitely way too late.

That's on his corner. You have to draw a line somewhere. Can an athlete challenge something 30 seconds earlier as long as they signal right when the whistle blows? A minute? Two?

If there's one long continuous sequence of action during that entire time, then sure. Otherwise, is one wrestler just supposed to stop in the middle of action to try and signal for a challenge?

I agree there should be a limit, and maybe JB passed it in this instance, but I think it's tough to make a hard limit which may encourage a wrestler to break action

Maybe we just say that all challenge requests must come from the corner and not from the athlete
 
From the rules -

A wrestler may also indicate his or her desire to challenge a scoring action once the athletes have come to a neutral position or there is a natural stoppage in the match by gesturing or asking the referee of their desire to challenge.
they were in a neutral position and he didn’t gesture for 15 seconds.

After seeing the replay, yeah. JB had plenty of time to motion for the challenge and he seemed to purposefully wait until time ran out to do so. Some gamesmanship there that he got away with
