Ok, here is my Christmas list for rule changes.

#1 definitely is continuation rule on the edge like college. If I start my takedown in the circle, why am I punished because the combat area is small? Wouldn't have to worry about fleeing, bad/questionable/judgement calls on the edge, etc. I would even be in favor of the push out rule. If it is good enough for the whole planet and Olympic wrestling, why is it not good enough for high wrestling in America?

#2 is riding time. I say yes to that. Riding does indeed take technique, effort, practice, etc. and exhibits a form of domination/control over your opponent. Isn't that kind of what wrestling is about anyway? And once again, if it is good enough for college wrestling, why is it not good enough for high school wrestling?

#3 is points for cheap tilt/tilt without mandatory count. Tilting takes skill, technique, effort and practice. It certainly exhibits a form of domination/control and isn't that what wrestling is kind of about anyway? If it is good enough for every country on the planet and Olympic wrestling, why is it not good enough for folkstyle wrestling? I would be in favor of keeping the near fall system as is but adding a 1 point move for a tilt with no three count. The effort that it takes to tilt someone even without a three count should be rewarded. I would not be in favor of a cheap tilt from neutral without control though.

All three rules I believe would provide a more clear winner in more cases and avoid a lot of what I consider "unnecessary" overtimes although overtime is kind of cool.

#4 is stalling. I hate stalling, that is the stalling call. Get rid of it I say. It is never called consistently or fairly anyway. It's about the most subjective call that we have. Stalling to me should be called strategy although running or fleeing should be punished I agree. People would still work for the fall, etc. I believe but they wouldn't have to take unnecessary risky chances. And if I have out wrestled someone for a certain amount of time to build a lead, why should I have to continue to out wrestle someone the whole match with the risk of compromising my victory. That really doesn't make sense. I know that many won't agree with me on this one though and that is ok and I understand why.
