I just read that the rules committee just approved new OT rules for next year. Two minutes sudden victory followed by two one minute ride out periods…then match is over. If still tied, decided on criteria…riding time.

So almost the same thing, but not quite. I guess it may be less confusing to novice fans to not have multiple cycles of the same thing. Maybe 2 min straight of OT will favor the better conditioned wrestler.I just read that the rules committee just approved new OT rules for next year.

Sometimes they declare the winner. Sometimes they proclaim the winner. Either/Or.… May be declared the winner? It's discretionary?
And in rare cases, they may announce the winner.Sometimes they declare the winner. Sometimes they proclaim the winner. Either/Or.
So the guy who tries the most is declared the winner?"In addition to the time change, one of the wrestlers may be declared the winner after the completion of the first tiebreaker period if either of the wrestlers has at least one second of net time advantage."
May be declared the winner? It's discretionary?
Sometimes they just raise the winner's hand -- or even just point at the winner.And in rare cases, they may announce the winner.
Probably wouldn't be called sudden victory if that were the case. Only thing that changed is one minutes to two for SV1, and that the match can end on a RT point in TB1.is the sudden victory a full 2 minutes regardless of scoring? Meaning a TD, reversal and ride out would then be determined by riding time. Correct?

Cindy will be controlling the curtain to reveal George!Clear as mud. Apparently if the match is tied then they first wrestle a 2 minute period sudden victory...then a 1 minute ride out and another 1 minute ride out...if the match is still tied, then whoever wins is chosen by a man who hides behind a giant curtain in a barber shop located in Clarion, Pennsylvania. I think his name is George.
If the wrestler with the most riding time is the winner, the word "will" should have been used instead of "may." One should not gave to guess at the meaning of a rule.I think y'all are off on something. i truly don't know - but i think you are hung up on the word 'may'.
the way i read it, the wrestler with the most RT is the winner.
'may' is only in there b/c of the off chance RT is tied.
again, i could be wrong. it certainly could have been clearer.
The problem with this thread is that everyone is reacting to a summary of the rule as opposed to the actual rule, which I don't believe has been published yet (typically it'll just be included when the NCAA updates the entire set of rules). I doubt the word "may" will be used in the actual rule. And I don't think "will" will be used either; it will probably be "shall."If the wrestler with the mist riding time id the winner, the word "will" should have been used instead of "may."

The real question I have, does RT reset to zero at the end of regulation like it does now? I assume that's the case but if it doesn't, that would be a change.The problem with this thread is that everyone is reacting to a summary of the rule as opposed to the actual rule, which I don't believe has been published yet (typically it'll just be included when the NCAA updates the entire set of rules).

But I think the implication from the summary is clear enough--that the only changes are (a) a 2-minute SV1, and (b) a wrestler can now win on RT in the first TB period.
I believe that such a pronounced rule change would have been mentioned in the summary, since it would greatly impact scoring. If RT carried over from regulation, it would present scenarios where the RT could not be overcome in TB at all.The real question I have, does RT reset to zero at the end of regulation like it does now?

Right, very true, but it might make for quite the aggressive 2 min SV period if one guy knew he was at a major deficit if it goes TB. However, I do think you're right that it will reset.I believe that such a pronounced rule change would have been mentioned in the summary, since it would greatly impact scoring.
