Ok, now I get it. I still don't believe a TD should be worth more than a turn.

So to clarify, are the 2 and 4 point nearfalls still in effect? I can't find further explanation. I don't believe separation between a TD and an escape is necessary but that is just my opinion among so many.

Let's take a deeper dive. What is the point of US folkstyle wrestling? Ultimately it is to get a pin. Now, over the years that emphasis has changed but is still match ending determinent. So we made back exposures worth 2, 3, or 4 points. And now I believe just 3 points for all exposures not resulting in a pin. I am having cognitive dissonance over placing an equal value to both back exposures and TDs. Are we arguing that require the same amount of effort and thus should be equally rewarded? I would content going from a position on the bottom to a position of control is just as difficult as achieving a takedown. So shouldn't the reward be the same?

Why a 3 point TD? Is a TD more valuable than a reversal? A TD goes from a position of no control to having control. A reversal is exactly that, going from being controlled to being in position of control. Shouldn't they have equal value?
