NCAA Wrestling Committee Announces Four Rule Changes
The NCAA Wrestling Sports Committee adopted four rule changes to take effect next season at spring meetings in Tucson Arizona. Key updates reduce match time from eight to seven minutes split into three periods and introduce an optional starting position for the man in advantage. A five second audible hand count may end stalemate and warn or penalize stallers. Weigh-in window becomes five hours to one half hour before meet time. Discussion on club teams and post graduate participation remained unresolved.
