Points of Emphasis

2015-16 NFHS Wrestling Points of Emphasis

1. Communicable Skin Conditions and Skin Checks

2. Biting3. Slams4. Stalling in the Ultimate Tiebreaker5. The Body Scissors

COMMUNICABLE SKINCONDITIONS AND SKIN CHECKS

It is imperative that ALL referees perform skin checks — or verify that skin checks have been done by a designated, on-site meet, appropriate health-care professional — as part of their pre-meet duties prior to EVERY dual meet and tournament. If there is a suspect condition, the wrestler or coach MUST present the proper clearance form at the weigh-in for any dual meet or tournament in order for the wrestler to be allowed to compete.

One of the keys to preventing the spread of communicable skin conditions is to clean wrestling mats daily with a solution of 1:100 bleach and water or an appropriate commercial cleaner.

COMMUNICABLE SKIN CONDITIONS AND SKIN CHECKS

COMMUNICABLE SKIN CONDITIONS AND SKIN CHECKS

One of the keys to preventing the spread of communicable skin conditions is to have wrestlers refrain from sharing soap, razors or towels.

BITING

The defensive wrestler is biting the opponent. If, in the opinion of the referee, a wrestler bites his opponent, it will be deemed intentional biting and will be called flagrant misconduct. Referees do not have to see the bite in order to call biting. Furthermore, any claim of biting must be brought to the attention of the referee immediately.

SLAMS

Wrestlers must never intentionally bring an opponent to the mat with unnecessary force. If the referee believes the slam was an intentional act intended to cause physical harm to the opponent, it would be considered flagrant misconduct and the wrestler committing the slam shall be disqualified from the match.

STALLING IN THE ULTIMATE TIEBREAKER

Although the body scissors is a legal hold in wrestling, referees should be very vigilant of it when applied. If the offensive wrestler is utilizing the body scissors to improve his/her position or to secure a fall, the maneuver is being properly executed. However, if the body scissors is applied solely to inflict pain, the referee must be prepared to break the hold immediately and penalize the offender for an illegal action.

BODY SCISSORS
