Unnecessary roughness involves physical acts that occur during wrestling. It includes any act which exceeds normal aggressiveness. It would include, but it is not limited to, a forceful application of a crossface, a forceful trip or a forearm or elbow used in a punishing way, such as, on the spine or the back of the head or neck, a forceful slap to the head or face, and/or gouging or poking the eyes. Continuing acts of unnecessary roughness also con be construed as flagrant misconduct.
