Rule 5-15-2c states: "Near fall points or a fall shall be earned only while the supporting points of either wrestler are inbounds." So, my question is: which is the correct rule/application, because it seems like these 2 contradict each other. Is the key word "handicapped", and, if so, how would you define this? Thanks!
