Thanks.

Can anyone help me out with scoring for wrestling?

What's the differnce between a decison and a major decision?

Thanks.

For the team it is:
Decision - 3 points
Major decision - 4 points
Technical fall - 5 points
fall/pin/forfeit - 6 points

For indidivuals:
decision is 1-7 points
major decision is 8-14 points
technical fall is 15 points or more

Edit: Per Mooninite. Thanks.

Also:

a takedown is 2 points
a reversal is 2 points
an escape is 1 point
a near fall is 2 or 3 points depending on how long the offensive wrestler holds it
rule infractions are -1 or -2 points

Actually
Decision = 1-7 point victory
Major decision is any victory between 8-14 points (8-0, 15-1, etc)
8
Technical fall is any victory by 15 points points or more.

Any other questions ask away...have been covering wrestling since the first olympics...at least it seems like it.
