Panel members approved an experimental rule in wrestling to allow mat-side video review during the 2012-13 season, excluding open tournaments.
Designation of the official mat-side video review system will be determined by the host institution before the beginning of competition.
The host will also determine the number of mats and the rounds the mat-side video review system will be used. If the mat-side video review will be used, the host must provide notification to participating coaches no later than weigh-ins.
Mat-side video review may be used to confirm or reverse on-the-mat decisions, except a fall.
The mat-side video review process will operate under the assumption that the ruling on the mat is correct, and only when there is indisputable video evidence that a ruling was incorrect, will a call be changed. Absent that evidence, the original ruling will stand.
Each team will be allowed one coach’s challenge per dual meet, including team advancement tournaments, to be used at the coach’s discretion.
Each team in an individual advancement tournament, excluding open tournaments, will be allowed three challenges to be used at the coach’s discretion. If a coach’s challenge is successful, the team will retain that challenge.
A coach may ask the referee to stop the match for a challenge by approaching the scorer’s table when there is no significant action and requesting that the match be stopped.
