Wrestling season coming to a close

This is the last 2-3 weeks of the wrestling season. It is all an individual sport from now until next season. Now all the city champions go on to state and the state champs go on to federations, regions, and nationals. This is also the last month for college seasons.

After 2 weeks the whole high school and college season will be over and 3 new seasons will start. They are Middle School, Freestyle, and Greco-Roman. Middle school has the same rules as the high school and college wrestling with a few exceptions about some potentially dangerous moves. they go on for about 2 months and have a small state tournament but no national tournament.

Freestyle and Greco are completely different. new rules and even a new type of singlet uniform. there are 10 weight classes starting at 112 and moving to 220 and the heavyweight ends at 285.

Freestyle is almost the same as Collegiate but the scoring is different. you don't wrestle a whole match, you wrestle rounds and the best of three wins the match. if you pin a man the match is over. when you take a man down, you get 1 point. for exposing the back you get 2 points, and if you hold him for 5 secs, you get 3. 6 points is all you need to win the period, and you can lock around the body on the floor. the no slam rule doesn't have effect in this style so technically anything goes except punching kicking and biting.

Greco is along the same rules as freestyle however you cannot touch the legs of you opponent. this style is mostly throwing because you cannot even trip a man. there is a penalty for touching the legs, and in a tie the match goes to a clinch position and the first man with a take down wins.
