The objective in a wrestling match is to beat your opponent. If a pin occurs, the match is over and whoever scored the pin wins. But if neither wrestler scores a pin, the score at the end of three two-minute periods determines the winner. You earn points for the different moves you successfully execute during a match, and your opponent earns points for any infractions you commit:
Pin or fall: Victory; end of match
Takedown: 2 points
Escape: 1 point
Reversal: 2 points
Near fall: 2 points for two seconds; 3 points for five seconds or more
Your opponent can also score points if you do the wrong thing.
Illegal hold: 1 point for your opponent
Unsportsmanlike conduct: 1 point for your opponent
Unnecessary roughness: 1 point for your opponent
Stalling: 1 point for your opponent after you receive one warning; disqualification on the fifth stalling violation
