One thing I would like is if you could mention to the ref's to watch the wrestlers closer when the get close to the edge of the mat. With the split mats there have been plenty of action which resulted in one or both wrestlers hitting the gym floor or a scoring table. Maybe if the ref can move to that edge where the action is, to protect them from getting thrown off the mat and possibly getting injured.

This is especially important because there is no "zone" for the wrestler or ref to be aware of.

Thanks

Great observation. We'll make sure to have this be a priority topic for this weekend.

Safety is always a huge concern for us, especially on half-mats, where space is limited, and there are often the additional hazards of desks, people, or fences that can all pose potential harm to wrestlers.

We will continue to prioritize this during all of our pre-tournament clinics. Thank you for letting us know.
