ANSWER. My Opinion R1. As Referee, I would not offer points for the throw and R1 for going into the protection area. Red did not meet Correct throw criteria (landing “Flat” on the hip or stomach) as Blue landed on his hands and knees. I would offer R1 (Step Out) as Blue was thrown into the protection area. Tim Pierson
Richard Chamberlain R1, red counters blue's throw, changing the direction with blue landing in the protection area.
Joel Sturtevant · R1 - Blue starts and attack to take red to his back with a bear hug, red counter attacks and changes the direction by throwing blue. But through great defense does not land in danger and lands on his knees. By maintain the ability to land on his knees there is no correct throw awarded. Blue is the first to land in the protection area - R1
Great wrestling!
ANSWER. My opinion R2. As the Judge, I would offer R2. Red attacks and during the conduct of the attack, Blue gets dropped on her butt and posts her right hand back to prevent going into danger. Thus Red completes the takedown. Tim Pierson
