Wrestling Scoring


Did Louden get shorted some points? The final match against Chute has the scoring 13-9 in favor of Chute according to the final shot of the scoreboard.

- The score after 2 periods is 7-7. But in that final period, Louden was given 2 points for a takedown early on (his total is now 9), but after his nosebleed and his talk with the coach, he should have been given 1 point for his escape and 2 points for his final takedown of Chute, which would bring his total to 12. I know he got the final pin, but what if he didn't? The ref may have given him 3 points for his nearfall, but that would just make the final 13-12 for Chute. The way I see it, the final score should have been 15-13 for Louden. So he beat him in points and by pinfall.

I know it was in slow motion so we didn't hear the ref yell out points, but the scoreboard after Louden won should have recognized the other points.

Any thoughts?
