What's this?

From the rulebook:

Art. 3. Dual Meets and Tournaments — Overtime.
a. If the score is tied after the sudden-victory period, the choice of top,
bottom, neutral or defer will be granted to the wrestler who scored the
first points in regulation time excluding escapes and penalty points. In the
second portion of the tiebreaker, the other wrestler will receive the choice
of top, bottom or neutral. Riding time of one minute or more for either
wrestler shall be included in the determination of who scored the first
offensive point.
b. When the only points scored in regulation time are escapes and/or
penalty points, the choice of top, bottom, neutral or defer to start the
first tiebreaker period will be granted to the winner of a toss of a colored
disc. The referee will toss the disc at the conclusion of the sudden-victory
period and allow it to fall to the mat unimpeded. The wrestler winning
the toss receives the choice in the first tiebreaker period while the other
wrestler will receive choice in the second tiebreaker period.
c. When the first nonbleeding injury timeout occurs in the tiebreaker
period, the opponent will be given choice of top, bottom or neutral, per
Rule 6.1.15

Starocci: I know I'm a better wrestler. He backed up a lot. -- dallasvt 03/19/2022 11:57PM

Well, all Mekhi did was back up in the OT period -- hokie4life93 03/20/2022 09:05AM

Boo ** -- 133966Hokie 03/20/2022 10:53AM

Yeah, the backing up part is true -- Pylons 03/20/2022 09:14AM

Isn't that the same tactic he used to pin the Meechigan wrestler? -- EDGEMAN 03/20/2022 09:52AM

I don't think that pin had much to do with being on the edge ** -- Pylons 03/20/2022 11:19AM

That's where he was when the Meechigan wrestler took the shot... -- EDGEMAN 03/20/2022 11:26AM

Yes, I know where it happened. Not sure what your point is. ** -- Pylons 03/20/2022 11:34AM

The tactic was the counter doesn’t matter where it happened ** -- hokiepro 03/20/2022 5:39PM

And I wasn't intending to be critical of Mekhi -- Pylons 03/20/2022 11:24AM

Caught that, too. Bad attitude and gives PSU a bad image ** -- Flemington Hokie 03/20/2022 07:19AM

Starocci - boo. Always has been like that. Can’t stand him. Followed him -- 133966Hokie 03/20/2022 11:32AM

#1 doesn't really add up -- Pylons 03/20/2022 12:16PM

Meh. Pretty sure PSU will be just fine. ** -- Pylons 03/20/2022 09:20AM

The refs loved him ** -- OrangeHokieFan 03/20/2022 12:28AM

No doubt. Saw that when the ref didn't give Mekhi the takedown in the 1st -- EDGEMAN 03/20/2022 07:51AM

Please don't bring some silly officiating conspiracy to this board -- Pylons 03/20/2022 09:17AM

Refs missed a clear locked hands on PSU in OT -- hokiepro 03/20/2022 11:22AM

Yes, refs miss things -- Pylons 03/20/2022 11:26AM

I didn’t say that here. Just that he missed two crucial things that -- hokiepro 03/20/2022 11:29AM

Nowhere have I said you did -- Pylons 03/20/2022 2:20PM

Cmon dude -- Hikinghokie 03/20/2022 1:09PM

I asked someone I thought knew the challenge rules and they misinformed me -- hokiepro 03/20/2022 1:34PM

This is a honest post. IMO it was not enough to call locked hands. -- Hokie Flyer 03/20/2022 1:24PM

Totally agree. Starocci's great, even if you don't like him -- Pylons 03/20/2022 2:45PM

Yes, yes and heck yeah they should have ended at 174! ** -- Hokie Flyer 03/20/2022 2:49PM

#2 is definitely not true. ** -- Hokie Flyer 03/20/2022 11:38AM

Ok I asked someone that and they told me there was just one challenge -- hokiepro 03/20/2022 1:27PM

Even if there was one challenge, he gets it back when successful. ** -- Hokie Flyer 03/20/2022 1:30PM

That’s what I thought also; another unrelated question : why didn’t Mekhi -- hokiepro 03/20/2022 1:38PM

I don't know. Are we sure that is the criteria? -- Hokie Flyer 03/20/2022 1:45PM

From the rulebook: -- dallasvt 03/20/2022 4:54PM

Thanks @dallasvt that is what I thought it might be. -- Hokie Flyer 03/20/2022 5:20PM

Excluding escapes. How does a national title tourney get that wrong?? ** -- hokiepro 03/20/2022 5:33PM

Yep looks like they did screw up -- Hokie Flyer 03/20/2022 8:58PM

Yep lools like they screwed ** -- Hokie Flyer 03/20/2022 8:56PM

Yep lools like they screwed ** -- Hokie Flyer 03/20/2022 8:55PM

No, excluding escapes. -- dallasvt 03/20/2022 5:29PM

Oh wow did not see that on first read. -- Hokie Flyer 03/20/2022 8:53PM

I don't know the criteria for determining choice, -- Hikinghokie 03/20/2022 2:14PM

Announcer was right on the takedown and I assumed he knew the choice rule -- hokiepro 03/20/2022 1:58PM

Yes, Mekhi got first TD, but Starocci was first to score. -- Hokie Flyer 03/20/2022 2:06PM

Possible ** -- hokiepro 03/20/2022 2:14PM

I don’t see them miss many PSU calls -- OrangeHokieFan 03/20/2022 11:28AM

Sometimes you see what you're looking for -- Pylons 03/20/2022 11:39AM

^^^POTD^^^^ ** -- VTBAMA 03/20/2022 12:23PM

I get what you’re saying -- OrangeHokieFan 03/20/2022 11:42AM

Correct; it may not be intentional but it’s definitely subconscious -- hokiepro 03/20/2022 4:06PM

There were several quick whistles in there first -- texashokie1 03/20/2022 10:53AM

In the first period, Mekhi was working towards getting a takedown.... -- EDGEMAN 03/20/2022 09:55AM

Both whistles in the first period were fine. In both cases, both wrestlers -- HokieToph 03/20/2022 10:30AM

We can just disagree. -- texashokie1 03/20/2022 1:35PM

I will agree the stalemates were quicker than usual, but.... -- Hokie Flyer 03/20/2022 1:47PM

Yeah, thinking more, I do feel like that might have been a finals night -- Pylons 03/20/2022 2:48PM

I can't remember which match....maybe 133#...where the stalemate calls.... -- Hokie Flyer 03/20/2022 2:51PM

Agree to disagree. -- EDGEMAN 03/20/2022 11:18AM
