Rule changes you would like to see


A lot of talk about the new OT rules after Mekhi's match. How would you like to see OT rules go? Or any other rule changes to improve the sport?

Personally, I did like to see (and I'm well aware of how unrealistic these are to happen):

1) push out rule. 1 point for a pushout. This takes out the subjectivity of the stalling calls on the edge, and translates to freestyle.

2) eliminate escape point and riding time. This eliminates stalling on top, and adds value to takedowns. I think we would see more guys taking top and actually trying for turns instead of stall riding.

3) unlimited 2 minute OT periods until someone scores. Ditch the rideouts.

  I doubt that. What you’ll have is more stall points -- GreenvilleVT 03/23/2022 08:10AM
  Do you think the ref impacted the Red/Rivera match? -- TartanHokie 03/23/2022 1:10PM

  You'll probably right that they'll keep it, -- Hikinghokie 03/22/2022 7:16PM
  It’s alot easier to stall on your feet. -- GreenvilleVT 03/22/2022 10:37PM
  I don't think bottom stalling would be a issue though -- Hikinghokie 03/23/2022 12:35AM
  Obviously improvement is subjective -- Hikinghokie 03/22/2022 3:51PM
  Thanks for the education. I’m learning. ** -- SCHokie1103 03/22/2022 4:13PM
  Good point. -- GreenvilleVT 03/22/2022 4:08PM
  The incentive would be to try to get a turn -- Hikinghokie 03/22/2022 7:07PM
  It’s not easier to score points from neutr -- GreenvilleVT 03/22/2022 10:39PM
