Rule Interpretation #18 2/10/25
Following two minutes of recovery time, Wrestler A is unable to continue after being injured from an illegal hold/maneuver by Wrestler B.
Wrestler A wishes to default the match to the opponent and indicates this desire to the referee after recovery time has expired.
Is this proper procedure?
No, Wrestler A is declared the winner by default. (5-17-2)
In order to default the match, Wrestler A or Wrestler A's coach would have to indicate this desire to the referee prior to the conclusion of wrestling. A default can only occur during a match.

I've read this about 6 times and I don't understand it :) Why does Wrestler A want to default to B?
IMHO, Wrestler A wins by DQ if they cant continue after their Recovery time is up.
