Rule changes for Season Two
1. We will allow any scoring by the offensive wrestler in the bonus.
2. Referees will strictly enforce correct starting position in clinch.
3. The power meter will run down twice as fast (1 minute of controlling the center of the mat gains the bonus) and the bonus meter can be recharged by regaining control of the center of the mat.
Possible rule changes for Season Two
1. Turns and back exposure are worth 1 point instead of 2.
2. Holding a wrestler with one shoulder to the mat, or a true near fall position, is worth 1 point per second up to 3 seconds. This near fall is exclusive of a turn. Either one or the other can be called but not both.
3. In dual meets, the visiting team has their first wrestler step on mat. The home team can send any 1 of their 7 wrestlers as his opponent. Once a weight class is used, that weight class cannot be used again by that team. This brings in the concept of crossing weight classes yet brings in a fair and limited use. The coaches now have the ability to greatly affect the matchups without the wrestlers needing the cut weight classes. Great wrestlers will be further challenged in these mismatches and their accomplishments become legends.
4. Potentially dangerous situations will only be called if the endangered wrestler cannot relieve the danger by going to his back. This slowly begins down the road to submissions.
NOTE: Since RPW uses new rules, score clocks need to be updated. RPW will gladly offer our custom computer software for free to any organization which needs these new capabilities. This software runs on all popular personal computers and can be then displayed on most LCDs, plasmas, or projection screens. For best results, progressive scan digital connect computer monitor signals are recommended.
