How many time-outs are allowed for a health-care professional to evaluate an injury during the match?

A health-care professional is allowed one time-out to evaluate an injury during a wrestling match. This provision ensures that if a wrestler sustains an injury, a qualified individual can assess the situation quickly and effectively, prioritizing the athlete's safety and well-being. The single time-out allows for a thorough evaluation without significantly disrupting the flow of the match.

The structure of this rule is designed to maintain the integrity of competition while also safeguarding student-athletes, ensuring they receive appropriate care if needed. The rules strictly outline this process to minimize the risk of undue delays and encourage efficient management of any injuries that may occur during the matches.
