I’ve been thinking about this a bit since the Penn state- Iowa match. I don’t think getting rid of riding time is the answer as it is still an important skill in wrestling. But, What if the rules states riding time is awarded only if greater than 2 points has been scored in the match? It gets rid of the 2-1 riding time point win. Also if it’s 1-0 and the guy winning has riding time but now the bottom wrestler has the whole third period to get an escape which would tie it instead of losing 2-1. It Still can be the deciding factor in a 6-6(7-6 with rt)match. Thoughts?
Sorry if anyone else posted this idea previously.
