The Wrestling Rules Committee made several recommendations for the 2023-24 season, including making all takedowns worth 3 points, eliminating the one-touch takedown, changing the way wrestlers can earn riding time, providing the referee with the authority to confirm or overturn all calls or missed calls during a video review challenged sequence, and eliminating the rule limiting all facial hair to a half-inch. Rider (DI) HC/Committee Chair Hangey: “Wrestling is in a time of need to change. We felt like something this significant would give a boost to the sport for viewership for the average fan and for longtime traditional fans. It will increase excitement and scoring. It will change tactics for coaches and kids. … When the 3-point line was implemented in basketball, everyone hated it at first. We are trying to evolve the sport of wrestling.
