WR-100<br />

Official <strong>NCAA</strong> <strong>Wrestling</strong> Rules<br />

No. 74—NEAR FALL. A near fall can be scored<br />

in a pinning situation if both scapulae of the defensive<br />

wrestler are held within four inches of the mat<br />

for at least two seconds. Note that the elbows of the<br />

defensive wrestler are not touching the mat.<br />

Nos. 72 and 73—NEAR FALL. In both illustrations<br />

above, a near fall can be scored if<br />

held for at least two seconds.<br />

No. 75—NEAR FALL. Although the defensive<br />

wrestler’s back is not within 45 degrees, the offensive<br />

wrestler has put one of the defensive wrestler’s<br />

shoulders on the mat and the other within 45<br />

degrees of the mat, and therefore can earn a near<br />

fall if held for at least two seconds.<br />

No. 76—NEAR FALL. The offensive<br />

wrestler is in control and<br />

holding the defensive wrestler<br />

in a bridge position. A near fall<br />

shall be awarded if this position<br />

is held for at least two seconds.<br />

No. 77—NEAR<br />

FALL. The offensive<br />

wrestler is in control and<br />

holding the defensive<br />

wrestler’s shoulder to the<br />

mat with the other shoulder<br />

at an angle of 45<br />

degrees to the mat. A near<br />

fall shall be awarded if<br />

this position is held for at<br />

least two seconds.
