a peterson (if done correctly) is a reversal, not a judgement call.

the back points are judgement.

as far as tilts, the hold must be released before back points can be awarded again. The ref was correct in the arm bar situation (from what you explained) As for the leg turk or any ride, you can get a count multiple times as long as the bottom wrestler establishes his base after the initial count.

an example would be a leg ride and red neck. come back to the base and then run it again. I have seen some good leg riders tech kids in the first period doing that.

as far as refs, they don't get paid enough and it's not worth the time to go get yelled at by parents and coaches who have no idea what the real rules are all day. I'm not saying you don't but that is what I have heard from many refs at the high school level as to why they are in huge demand for new refs.
