CHAPTER 6 - POINTS FOR ACTIONS AND HOLDS
Article 40 - Values assigned to the Actions and Holds

1 Point
- To the wrestler who applies a correct hold while standing on the mat or in the "parterre" position with three points of contact but who does not secure control by passing behind in FS wrestling.
- To the wrestler who is prevented from completing a hold because his opponent is maintaining an irregular hold, but who finally succeeds in completing the hold in FS.
- To the attacking wrestler whose opponent flees the hold, the mat, refuses to start, commits illegal actions or acts of brutality in FS.
- To the wrestler whose opponent goes in the protection zone with one entire foot (in standing position) without executing a hold.

Clarification for stepping out in standing wrestling for both style:
- When the attacking wrestler is the first to step into the protection area in the commission of a hold, the following may occur:
- If the wrestler completes the hold successfully in a continuous action, he shall be awarded the requisite points--1, 2, 4 or 5 points.
- If the wrestler is unable to complete the hold successfully, after stopping the action the referee shall award his opponent 1 point.
- If the wrestler lifts and controls his opponent and he is unable to complete the hold in a continuous action, the referee shall stop the bout but not award his opponent 1 point.

NB: When a wrestler deliberately pushes his opponent into the protection area with no meaningful action, he shall no longer be awarded 1 point. If he does it second time he will be penalized caution (O) and 2 points to opponent in GR, 1 point in FS.
- All the stops of bout by injury without bleeding or any visible injury are penalised by 1 point to the opponent.
- To the wrestler whose opponent requested a challenge if initial decision is confirmed.
- To the opponent of a wrestler designated as passive who fails to score points during a 30 second activity period in Freestyle wrestling.
- To the wrestler whose opponent, either top or bottom wrestler, refuses correct "parterre" starting position after a first friendly warning in FS. Reversal (counter attack by dominated wrestler in parterre position and passing behind)

2 Points
- To the wrestler who overcomes and then controls his opponent by passing behind (three points of contact: two arms and one knee or two knees and one arm or head).
- To the wrestler who applies a correct hold while standing on the mat or in the "parterre" position with three points of contact but who does not secure control by passing behind in GR wrestling.
- To the wrestler who executes a hold that places his opponent's back at an angle of less than 90 degrees, including when his opponent is on one or two outstretched arms.
- To the wrestler who is prevented from completing a hold because his opponent is maintaining an irregular hold, but who finally succeeds in completing the hold in GR
- To the attacking wrestler whose opponent flees the hold, the mat, refuses to start, commits illegal actions or acts of brutality in GR To the attacking wrestler whose opponent rolls onto his shoulders.
- To the attacking wrestler whose opponent flees the hold out-of-bounds and lands in a position of danger.
- To the attacking wrestler whose opponent commits an illegal hold that hinders the execution of an engaged hold or a fall
- To the wrestler who blocks his opponent in the execution of a hold from the standing position, in a position of danger.
- To the wrestler who executes a grand amplitude hold and secures control, but does not place the opponent in a direct and immediate danger position in Freestyle wrestling.

4 Points
- To the Greco-Roman wrestler performing a hold in a standing position, which brings his opponent into a danger position by direct projection over a short amplitude.
- To the Freestyle wrestler who brings his opponent into a direct danger position by projection and demonstrates control. Short amplitude is not required in Freestyle.
- For any hold executed by raising a wrestler from the ground, over a short amplitude, even if one or both of the attacking wrestler's knees are on the ground.
- To the Greco-Roman wrestler who executes a grand amplitude hold which does not place the opponent in a direct and immediate danger position.

NB. If, in performing a hold, the defending wrestler maintains contact with the mat with one of his hands, but is immediately placed in a danger position, the attacking wrestler will receive 4 points.

5 points (in Greco Roman Style)
- All grand amplitude throws executed in a standing position which bring the defending wrestler to a direct and immediate danger position.
- The hold executed by a wrestler in the "parterre" position who completely lifts his opponent off the ground with the execution of a high amplitude throw which projects the opponent into a direct and immediate danger position
