CLICK THE DOWNLOAD LINK ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDEBAR   Wrestling Officials:   In an effort to become more consistent, MSHSL has set up a YouTube channel that will be used to communicate interpretations and rules throughout the 2018-2019 season. There are currently several videos available for your viewing that pertain to new rules and points of emphasis for this year.  Please follow the attached document on how to subscribe to the YouTube channel.   This channel is to be used for training purposes only and has no intent to ridicule officials, schools or athletes.  Please use the comment feature underneath the video for positive dialogue.  All derogatory remarks will be removed and further participation will be cancelled.   This channel will be another tool to add to your tool box in your quest to improve as an official.  The channel will only be as good as we make it. That means as you come across...

When: Wednesday, Nov 7th, 2018 @ 7:00pm (6pm social hour) Where: Owatonna Eagles Club (map) Webcast: http://meeting.smwoa.com At our Assn meeting we will go over the new rules for 2018-19 and then take out test together in preparation for you all to take your individual test online.  We will also cover Assn business such as dues, mentoring, NYWA, and anything else that comes up. Some new rules and emphasized rules this year are: Two supporting points inbounds – and that can be one point from each wrestler – for all scoring. In MN we consider Toes as supporting points. Ankle socks can be worn at weigh-ins. The Back Bow is illegal by application. A False Start injury can result in a default win by the injured wrestler. An emphasis on more stalling calls and continued wrestling when two supporting points are inbounds and safety is not an issue.
