As we get further into the Post-Season, officials will be faced with facilitating Stalling and Overtime procedures.
It is imperative that you understand each part of the process.
Do not inject yourself into the match, unless absolutely necessary.
Remember, the Ultimate Tie Breaker is a different procedure with regard to stalling.

Please take notice of the why the leg block is illegal.
The force is either at the knee or at the ankle in this case.
I have another example of an illegal leg block on the knee in the whistle wisdom as well.
It is an illegal hold 1 point for opponent.
Start 2-minute recovery time.
No doubt illegal, but the crafty kids are really good at working these situations and that small moment of time where the kid is off both feet is really difficult to spot. Ultra focus needed in these situations.

Season 3 of Whistle Wisdom has ended as we hit the postseason.
Hopefully, you have learned a great deal this year and improved yourself as an official.

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.

In this neutral situation are you awarding at TD?
I am not awarding a TD, as control is not established and the Green wrestlers foot ends up on the floor.
No Takedown because foot was off the mat and I don't see any control by the offensive guy even though the cradle is locked up the green wrestler could easily slip out so no control.

Wrestler B is bit by Wrestler A during the second period of the match. Wrestler A is leading 5-4 in the third period, when Wrestler B shows the referee the bite marks after a break in the action. The referee awards the match to Wrestler B by disqualification via Flagrant Misconduct for biting.
Is this proper procedure?
The rule states that if in the opinion of the referee a wrestler bites the opponent this will be deemed intentional biting and will be called flagrant misconduct.
However, when the referee makes this call it must be an occurrence that is brought to the referee's attention during that period.
Therefore, since it was brought to the attention of the referee in the third period, and took place in the second period there is no penalty. (8-1-6)
A bite is a flagrant misconduct. It must be shown to the official immediately and during the period it occurred to be enforced. Because WA bit WB in the second period but it was not shown to the official until the 3rd period, it is not enforceable.

The situation is match score 7 Green-6 Red in TB 2.
Green earned an escape in TB 1.
TB 2, Red chose down and Green had ridden for approximately 20 seconds.
What is your call for the action which occurs at the end of TB 2?
I am awarding LOC as red escaped during the action before time was out.
Easy call (had to enlarge the video to tell when the timer tapped).... 1 escape send into ultimate tie breaker.

During the first period of a match, the two wrestlers butt heads and Wrestler A is obviously injured and is granted an HNC time-out by the referee so the on-site appropriate health-care professional can evaluate the injured wrestler. During this time-out, Wrestler B's nose starts to bleed.
What is the procedure for the referee to follow?
First, Wrestler A shall be granted an HNC time-out. As soon as it is detected that B is bleeding, the HNC time-out for Wrestler A would be paused, and blood time for Wrestler B would be started.
In any bleeding situation, the blood time-out takes precedence over all time-outs.
In this situation, however, because the HNC came to the attention of the referee first, it would count as one of Wrestler A’s HNC time-outs as well as the amount of HNC time that was used prior to the bleeding being discovered. After blood time-out…

Is LOC earned in this TB situation?
Rod's interpretation below is correct. No LOC.
Based on the video we see here no loss of control. See case book page 24 5.10.situation B. Must break the locked hands and separate to the point they both do not reach the midline of the back to be a loss of control. The hands were either locked or did not cross the midline of the back, based on the video as we see it.
Great video! Thanks, Scott.
