How many points is each move worth?

Question

Accepted Answer

Move	Match points
Takedown	3 (raised from 2 in 2024-25)
Reversal	2
Escape	1
Near fall	2, 3 or 4 (seconds held), or 5 if the defender is injured or bleeds after a 4-point near fall

Penalty points for stalling, technical violations, illegal holds, unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct are awarded to the opponent as the referee signals them. Record them with their own symbols, separate from the moves above.

Inbounds: points can be scored when there's at least one point of contact by either wrestler inside or on the boundary line (since 2024-25).

Record every point when the referee signals it, and circle the first point(s) scored in the regulation match.
