This is a call that will most likely come from judge and confirmed by the MC. Example 1Example 1, Example 2Example 2

32. PAR TERRE RESTARTS ✕ Rule – Wherever the Foul occurs, that is where you return – works in every scenario ✕ Par Terre – If the bottom wrestler does something that interrupts the match, the bout will re-start in par terre  Injuries – same as before  Leg Fouls that started in Par Terre – same as before  Fleeing the hold – same as before  Fleeing the mat – new 2014 – before it was standing Example 1Example 1, Example 2Example 2

33.

35. CORRECT THROW ✕ Executing a hold without landing in a Danger Position

36. CORRECT THROW No Control Only 1-point Red Red Control Only 2-points Red Reversal 1-point Red 1-point Blue

37. PASSIVITY ✕ Basically this is blocking and preventing scoring actions ✕ This can be grouped under a variety of infractions such as: grabbing hands/fingers, having their head down, posting on the opponents head, blocking the chest with forearms or hands, etc… ✕ Use UWW Vocabulary to encourage action  Open, Head up, Action, Contact, No Fingers, etc… ✕ Passivity will not be called as much at the younger levels because they typically score points

38. GENERAL POINTS FOR PASSIVITY ✕ Rules for 3-man mechanics ✕ Passivity can be confirmed by either the Judge or Mat Chairman ✕ If Referee asks for one color, judge it is either confirmed or white paddled, not the opposite color ✕ Once Passivity is confirmed, look back at the wrestlers to see if an action is underway – if something scores the passivity goes away

39. FREESTYLE PASSIVITY ✕ 1 st Passivity  Use FILA Vocabulary to stimulate action  Get Confirmation – stop the match give an “Attention” ✕ 2 nd Passivity  Get Confirmation – stop the match  Indicate the 30-second penalty period  If either wrestler scores during the 30 second period, the penalty period is over  If no wrestler scores – passive wrestler is given a caution and 1-point is awarded to their opponent

40. FREESTYLE PASSIVITY ✕ Further Passivity Violations will immediately go to 30-sec penalty period ✕ Passivity cannot be called within the last 30 seconds of each period that would result in a penalty clock – fleeing the hold ✕ If the score is 0-0 after 2 minutes, the referee must stop the match and team will determine a passive wrestler and 30-second penalty period will be applied ✕ Timing of your calls is very important – should not call 1 st passivity at 1:40 and then another at 1:55 ✕ If a wrestlers has scored substantial points (5 or more), then Fleeing the Hold should be called instead

41. FREESTYLE PASSIVITY ✕ Additional Points  Notation – Put a “V” for verbal warning on the bout sheet and put a “P” for when passivity is called  Should start identifying the passive wrestler in the first 30 seconds  It is okay to give a warning in the last 30 seconds of the 1 st period but not put on the clock  Passivity clock could be used at anytime before 2:30 on the clock  If a wrestler is up 5-0 and being passive, this is fleeing the hold and would be a caution and 1  Passivity is mainly given in a low scoring match – could use as many as 3 passivity periods in a match

42. FREESTYLE PASSIVITY ✕ Additional Points  When passivity is confirmed, the referee must look back at the wrestlers to make sure than an action is not underway before they blow the whistle – Example 1, Example 2 Example 1Example 2  If an action is started before 2:00 mark in a 0-0 match, the referee should allow the action to complete before stopping it to apply the passivity clock  During the 30-second activity period, at the end of the 30-second period, the referee should check to make sure an action is not underway before stopping the match – the activity period could extend beyond 30 seconds  Assume 0-0 match – Number of calls and passivity periods – 3 calls in 1 st and 2 calls in the 2 nd

43. FREESTYLE PASSIVITY ✕ Examples of Freestyle Passivity  Example 1 Example 1  Example 2 Example 2  Example 3 Example 3 ✕ Examples of the Penalty Period  Example 1, Example 2 – points not scored Example 1Example 2  Example 1, Example 2 – points scored Example 1Example 2

44. GRECO-ROMAN PASSIVITY - 2014 ✕ 1 st Passivity  Use FILA Vocabulary to stimulate action  Get confirmation and give the wrestler a verbal warning “Red/Blue Passive” without stopping the match  Stick your hand out to your side for confirmation, once confirmed raise that hand up  Place a “V” for a verbal warning ✕ 2 nd Passivity  Get confirmation and stop the match  Caution given to the passive wrestler  Choice of Par Terre of Standing given to the active wrestler (No Reverse Lock)

45. GRECO-ROMAN PASSIVITY - 2014 ✕ 3 rd Passivity  Get Confirmation and stop the bout  Caution given to passive wrestler and 1-point given to his opponent  Choice of Par Terre or Standing ✕ 4 th Passivity  Get Confirmation and stop the bout  Caution and 1-point given  Passive Wrestler is disqualified – 3 cautions ✕ Timing of calls – a GR match should not end in 0-0 ✕ Example Example

46. GRECO-ROMAN PASSIVITY - 2014 ✕ Timing of calls  1 st Passivity should be called within the first minute of a 0-0 match  Recommend having a minimum of 3 calls in the first period (2 on Red, 1 on Blue) – at least one is in par terre  Second period – make the 2 nd passivity call on the one wrestler – that way both wrestlers have a chance on top – then the next call could decide the winner

47. GRECO-ROMAN PASSIVITY - 2014 ✕ Additional Points  The 1 st Passivity could be called in the last 30 seconds in the 1 st period  There should be at least 20 seconds left if making a passivity call that could result in par terre (2 nd call at the 2:40 mark)  If you call passivity that results in par terre, give the wrestler on top ample time to make a turn  If scoring does occur in the 1 st period, then the passivity calls would be delayed – keep in mind who scored technical points – this is different than points from cautions

48. GRECO-ROMAN PASSIVITY - 2015 - Proposed ✕ Passivity  Important to stimulate action – verbalize  No more forced par terre  2 passivities against a wrestlers = 1 point  Reset after a point is given  Bout will not stop to make the passivity call  Get Confirmation 1 st – Say “Attention – Red Passive” – if second passivity call add “Blue 1-point”  Assume a 0-0 match – Looking to make 6 or 7 total passivity calls – 4 on one wrestler and 2 or 3 on the other – score would end 2-1

49. IDENTIFYING PASSIVITY ✕ GR/FS – Grabbing hands and fingers – Point of Emphasis – “Open”- reach in knock off, if continues, it could be a Caution and 1-point or just passivity ✕ GR/FS – Head down, backing up constantly ✕ GR – grabbing wrists and holding on ✕ GR – blocking – preventing holds ✕ GR – Having a great hold and making not attempt to score ✕ GR – Sometimes you just have to call someone in a 0-0 match

50. FLEEING THE HOLD ✕ Standing Position  Blocking and running to prevent scoring  Typical in the last 30 seconds of a match  Stop the bout and give an “Attention”  Vocabulary is “Red/Blue Contact”  If continues, stop the match and ask for a caution and 1-point  Are these fleeing the hold or not? Example 1, Example 2,Example 1Example 2  Make sure you know what the call will do in the match – will it decide the winner or not?

52. PROPOSED - GRECO CHANGES FOR 2015 ✕ Only one gut wrench can be done and scored – wrestlers must do another technical action before another one can be scored – Example 1Example 1 ✕ All gut wrenches are 2 points – hand to hand would still be 2 points – Auto touche can still be called - Example 1, Example 2 Example 1Example 2

53. PROPOSED - GRECO CHANGES FOR 2015 ✕ No push out for 1-point – same as FS – fleeing the mat can still be called ✕ An offensive wrestler that makes an attempt, steps out first, and does not score will NOT be penalized 1-point – Example 1Example 1  Par Terre – Lift – offensive wrestler steps out  Par Terre – Front Headlock – ends up standing out of bounds  Legitimate Slip Throws  Must be clear ✕ Normal wrestling from standing position that goes out will still be 1-point – just like before

54. PROPOSED - GRECO CHANGES FOR 2015 ✕ Par Terre Defense – Gut Wrenches  Bottom guy is allowed to defend with Open Arms  Not allowed to block off with elbows and knees, touch the hands, wrists, arms  Say “Open” – slap the mat  Still no change – Caution and 1pt – get confirmation 1 st  Once called – would restart back in par terre  It is permissible to reach in and slap the hands off at the Senior level ✕ Par Terre Defense – Front Headlock  It is permissible to attack the hands, wrists and arms  Still cannot grab fingers or break the lock illegally

55. GRECO RULES – STAYED THE SAME ✕ Leg Fouls and how they are penalized  Doesn’t prevent a score – action scores + a caution and 1-point  Does prevent a score – caution and 2-points  Re-start in same position foul occurs ✕ Fleeing the mat or hold  Caution and 1-point  Re-start in same position foul occurs ✕ Illegal Holds are the same ✕ Grabbing Fingers - could be treated as passivity or fleeing the hold
