[edit] Does anyone have the High School wrestling rules?
I've been adding citations from the wrestling rules published by the NCAA for the college-level wrestling details (which I can find online), but the wrestling rules published by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) is not available on the Internet. Does anyone (wrestlers, wrestling coaches, etc.) have a copy that would be for the 2007-2008 school year preferably? If so, could you please take the time to cite the appropriate details regarding the rules for high school competition? Thanks.

Since posting this, I've purchased a copy of the current rules book for high school wrestling (2007-08) from NFHS. It was very helpful in clarifying the differences between college and high school wrestling (There are some, ever so slight.), and in providing citations.

[edit] Should this article be separated again?...
I've recently (either logged-in or on a public computer not logged-in) been doing a major overhaul of this article, adding images, a history section, citations to the official rules, etc. But now, this article is 82 kilobytes long. I think it may be time to separate the article into smaller ones.
- Some time ago, the article "Scholastic wrestling" was merged into this article, but now I think it would be fine if a new article: "Scholastic wrestling" be added that dealt with high school wrestling, specifically.
- An article entitled "Folkstyle wrestling" that deals with youth wrestling (as it is adapted from collegiate and scholastic wrestling) could be added as well.
- Possibly, a new article: "History of Collegiate wrestling" could be created; since the history section is so long now.
The present sections that would form the basis of the new articles would then be cut short and summarized for its main points after the new articles are created.
What do you guys think?

Since posting this, I have separated the college (collegiate) wrestling article from the high school (scholastic) wrestling article. There are slight differences between high school and college wrestling rules. Since I was posting citations from the NCAA rule book on the collegiate wrestling article, the article would have simply been too long for both college and high school wrestling information to be on the same page.

[edit] Shotgun Start?
I know that just in high school, my state (NJ) went to what they call a "shotgun start" for all dual meets. Basically, they'll draw a weight class out of a hat. The match will start at that class. For instance, if 171 is drawn, they'll start at 171, and then go to 189, 215, and 275 before jumping back down to 103 and all the way back up to 160.
From what I gather, this was done to take the pressure off the higher weight classes, who would frequently decide a close match.
I understand this is also done at the NCAA level.
[edit] Tech Falls and Pins
I think a clarification might be in order to note that the match does not immediately end when a tech fall situation is noticed. If the tech fall is earned on a takedown straight into a near-fall situation, the ref usually allows the wrestler to finish the pin, if possible.

[edit] Should these two be combined...
I started work on the below link before I saw this article

Scholastic wrestling should definitely be merged in, in my opinion. Scholastic, collegiate and folkstyle all refer to the same style in the United States, and we can discuss age-group-specific rules in a special section of this page. Collegiate wrestling has the most pages linking to it. Mytildebang 22:43, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pins?
Could anyone add a list of takedowns and pins, or at least links to them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cpettijohn93 (talk • contribs) 17:43, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
