Re: OT Riideout stall calls

3:00 OT period, start from neutral, first TD wins it. If no one scores in OT then whomever scored the first point in regulation wins.

Yes, cautions ending matches is far better than stall calls.

OK-instead of turning the clock off set the clock at 2 minutes -if no score by then flip the red/Green -I've lost several matches on Referee's choice and would rather die than do so again.To hell with OT criteria .

I dont mind the ot if they did call the quick stalemate but what I would like to see is more calls for fleeing the mat and pushouts. Its getting absurd watching people flee to escape takedowns and not get dinged for it or pushing ou because they cant hold someone down.

I don't mind the stall calls honestly. The goal on top is to turn, if you're not working to turn, then you should get hit.

Then almost everybody should be hit with stall calls when they are on top during the rideout.
I think the tiebreaker rules are reasonable, but the stall call are inconsistent.
How about 2 minutes on the feet and include the international push-out rule?

Honestly I just wish that they'd keep resetting things and going from a 1 min SV then two :30, repeat until someone wins. Ore builds up 1:00 of RT after both of the :30 periods.

I agree with VA, and I definitely feel the rules have to be the same in OT as the regular match (no push outs, etc.). I'd like to see refs a little tighter about what the top guy is doing, but that's all.

I like Snackem's idea of an OT ride tie point, but building up 1:00 of RT would take forever. Even if one guy got out in 5 seconds and the other guy got out at 29 seconds, it would take at least 3 OTs to get there, and realistically, 4 or 5. I'd think 30s accumulated RT in OT might be enough to call a winner.

**Snackem** · 03-21-2012, 08:46 PM

To clarify my idea would not change current rules at all, except it would remove the ultimate tiebreaker :30 period. I would just repeat the current 1:00, followed by :30/:30 until someone won or like I said a minute of RT was accumulated (so if the entered OT with :45 and could ride their guy :15 longer they win).
