Of course, mandatory awarding of points will increase scoring.
Not just scoring, but it increases action.
You may like the increased scoring and perceived increase in action, but that doesn't make your second sentence accurate.
I did. It’s a rule set that forces action. It makes the wrestlers have to wrestle. We all know how it works, so it’s fair. Don’t like it, score points.
go back to picking a ball out of a bag….right color and you win. that takes it out of officials hands. who really thinks up these rules?
I was thinking the same thing. Also found it interesting how well some of the countries that have had the strictest lock downs were doing. Almost like maybe the state sponsored sports were being allowed to still train while the common joe was losing his job?
There’s not a more likable (and dominant) athlete I’ve seen at this Olympics. She SHOULD be a star.
The ball grab and the clinch were the worst rules ever implemented. Talk about a low point of wrestling, a lifetime of training could be negated by random chance.
Good question. The reason for this, is:
No, it doesn't help. It's not the truth of what is happening to call a guy for passivity in the first who is the more aggressive wrestler.
Yes, I conflated the technical term "stalling" with "passivity." But that is really irrelevant. That's not the issue and you are incorrect in that I'm not trying to turn freestyle into folkstyle. My contention is that it still puts too much power in the hands of the ref, especially the tit for tat system, especially in reverse order of who is really passive for that period.
You did what? I never said you didn't do something for you to correct.
What you are saying is completely a matter of opinion. If you call a person for passivity, isn't it your opinion of who is being passive? That is an opinion call, not factual. You are missing the point there. No one says...Person A is being passive, so lets call person B for warning of Passivity . I think you aren't clear on what constitutes passivity.... for example:
I get it pisses people off that certain athletes use the Olympics to vocalize their personal platform, but it shouldn't be the reason not to watch the Olympics. You are talking about a handful of peoples vs. the 99% of the rest of the US team proud to represent.
How can it "be implemented from Folkstyle" if it is not the rule in folkstyle? Folkstyle matches where the score is tied after all wrestling has been completed is decided by criteria (most riding time accumulated in OT) just like Freestyle is decided by criteria after all wrestling has been completed. Folkstyle has criteria just like freestyle it just takes way longer to get there.
Ok her personality is awesome and it would be great if she got noticed by some big companies/corporations and was in the public eye more. She's a breath of fresh air and in general seems to be fun/happy.
I understand the Folkstyle rules. Let me be succinct. Have an overtime period in Freestyle and Greco until someone scores.
Nothing.
Unfortunately after watching folkstyle vs freestyle. Having a tied score promotes inaction during regulation and then in OT….just holding on for that one mistake or scoring opportunity. I’m being converted to the criteria scoring of always having someone winning. It seems there is much more action in freestyle because of this.
