Takedown (1 to 5 points): A wrestler is awarded points for a takedown when
the wrestler gains control over his opponent on the mat from a neutral position
(when the wrestler is on his feet). At least three points of contact have to be
controlled on the mat (e.g. two arms and one knee; two knees and one arm or
the head; or two arms and the head).

(5 points) - Five points are awarded for a takedown brought about by a throw
of grand amplitude (a throw in which a wrestler brings his opponent off of the
mat and controls him so that his feet go directly above his head either from the
standing or par terre position into a direct and immediate danger
position.

(3 points) - Generally, three points are awarded for a takedown brought about
by a grand amplitude throw that does not bring his opponent in a direct and
immediate danger position or for a takedown in which a wrestler's opponent
is taken from his feet or his stomach to his back or side (a throw of short
amplitude) so that he is in the danger position.

(1 point) - One point is awarded for a takedown brought about by a wrestler
taking his opponent from his feet to his stomach or side such that his back or
shoulders are not exposed to the mat.

Reversal (1 point): A wrestler is awarded one point for a reversal when the
wrestler gains control over his opponent from a defensive position (when the
wrestler is being controlled by his opponent).

Exposure also called the Danger Position (2 or 3 points): A wrestler is
awarded points for exposure when the wrestler exposes his opponent's back
to the mat for several seconds. Points for exposure are also awarded if a
wrestler's back is to the mat but the wrestler is not pinned. Criteria for
exposure or the danger position is met when 1) a wrestler's opponent is in a
bridge position to avoid being pinned, 2) a wrestler's opponent is on one or
both elbows with his back to the mat and avoids getting pinned, 3) a wrestler
holds one of his opponent's shoulders to the mat and the other shoulder at
an acute angle (less than 90 degrees), 4) a wrestler's opponent is in an
"instantaneous fall" position (where both of his shoulders are on the mat for
less than one second), or 5) the wrestler's opponent rolls on his shoulders.
A wrestler in the danger position allows his opponent to score two points.
An additional hold-down point may be earned by maintaining the exposure
continuously for five seconds.

Penalty (1 or 2 points): Under the 2004–2005 changes to the international
styles, a wrestler whose opponent takes an injury time-out receives one point
unless the injured wrestler is bleeding. Other infractions (e.g. fleeing a hold or
the mat, striking the opponent, acting with brutality or intent to injure, using
illegal holds, etc.) are penalized by an award of either one or two points, a
Caution, and  a choice of position to the opponent.

Out-of-Bounds (1 point): Whenever a wrestler places his foot in the
protection area, the match is stopped, and one point is awarded to his
opponent

Stalling (1 point): A point awarded to the attacking wrestler whose opponent
flees the hold or refuses to start
