3.10.5 Equal Number of Penalties—Sudden-Victory Period. In a situation in

wrestlers will proceed to the tiebreaker periods.
3.10.6 Injury Due to Illegal Act in Overtime. If an injury occurs as a result of
an illegal act during the sudden-victory period of any round of overtime, the
match is concluded. If an injury occurs as a result of an illegal act during the
tiebreaker periods of any round of overtime, recovery time is applicable. (See
Rule 6.4.) (For Flagrant Misconduct in Overtime, see Rule 5.6.)
3.10.7 Flagrant Misconduct in Overtime. A wrestler earning the first point(s)
in the sudden-victory period of any round of overtime can lose only by

misconduct. (See Rule 5.6.)
3.11 Correction of Error
3.11.1 Error—First or Second Period. Errors occurring in dual meets or
tournaments during the first or second period shall be corrected with wrestling
resuming immediately. If the incorrect wrestler is given the choice at the start
of the second period, no rewrestling is necessary. The opponent shall be given
the choice at the start of the third period.
3.11.2 Error by Timekeeper and/or Scorers. If there is an error on the part of the
timekeeper and/or scorers, the error shall be corrected and the referee will
inform the wrestlers, coaches and announcer of the correction. During a dual
meet, correction shall be made by the referee before the start of a subsequent
match. An error during the last match of a dual meet must be corrected before
the referee has signed the scorebook.
For a tournament, the correction shall be made by the referee and shall take
place before the contestants leave the mat area or the bout sheet leaves the
scorer’s table. Any error not resolved by the referee shall be arbitrated by the
tournament committee.
3.11.3 Error—Referee. A referee may not reconsider or reverse an unsportsmanlike
or flagrant misconduct violation call once the subsequent match begins in a
dual meet or after the bout sheet leaves the scorer’s table in a tournament.
Similarly, the referee may not assess an unsportsmanlike or flagrant
misconduct penalty during subsequent matches in a dual meet or later in a
tournament session for action(s) in an earlier match.
3.11.4 Clerical Error. A clerical error in recording team scoring in a dual meet
or tournament that does not necessitate additional wrestling may be corrected
when discovered.
3.12 Questioning the Referee
3.12.1 Coach. A coach shall be permitted, without penalty, to approach the
scorer’s table with the intent of correcting or asking for an interpretation of
the score or time.
