Technical fall

Technical fall

In amateur wrestling, a technical fall, or technical superiority ("tech" for short; slang: "I teched him"), is a victory condition satisfied by outscoring your opponent by a specified number of points. It is wrestling's version of the mercy rule.

In collegiate and scholastic (folkstyle) wrestling, a differential of fifteen points ends the match regardless of when it occurs if the wrestler who has control is unable to get the pin anyway. [ cite web

Under the old rules of freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling, a ten-point differential ended the match.

Under the rules adopted in 2004-2005 by FILA, the international styles moved to a three-period system similar to a best of three series; the technical fall wins only the period, as opposed to a pin, which ends the match entirely. The new period-only technical fall can be achieved in three ways [ cite web

* Creating a six-point differential
* Executing two three-point throws, which either take the opponent from his feet to the danger position (his back), or are grand-amplitude throws which do not end in the danger position
* Executing one grand-amplitude throw ending in the danger position. A grand amplitude throw is one in which the opponent is taken from his feet to his back while "describing a broadly sweeping arc," according to the FILA rulebook.
