They did away with riding time because of some pathetic need to make wrestling appeal to people who knew nothing about it in hopes of making it a mass spectator sport. The truth of it is wrestling is great to people who know wrestling and the rest won't get it if you wore singlets with lights on them. Of course the person who controls the other the most should be rewarded. This is another example of people running this sport who have backgrounds in other sports besides wrestling. The college guys have it about right. Look at the stall calls in college wrestling they don't occur for the most part on the mat they occur on their feet. The importance of a takedown has nothing to do with the awarding of a point for dominating your adversary on the mat. One does not cancel out the other.
