Did anyone else have a problem with Haysville team members mat slapping to earn a point for locked hands. (I don't know what else to call it.). When both wrestlers make it to their feet and the Haysville wrestler is trying to escape he will lower his level and smack the mat with both hands begging for locked hands over and over again. I did see them credited with points several times this weekend and during the season. Some refs go for it and some do not. No way are the supporting weight with the hands but I guess some refs consider the wrestler back in the down position when the hands make the quick slap on the mat. The coaches are sidelines BEGGING for locked hands and making the same gester with both hands to the mat.

At the 6 and under Championship in Ottawa they did the same thing and end up winning the finals match with the Haysville slap twice in the same match in the 3rd round to win the match against a Great kid from Pittsburgh.

Should this be allowed to be considered a point for locked hands if the hands are not bearing the weight of the body or is it a CHICKEN XXXX way to Coach the kids?
