If a wrestler receives a third penalty for stalling, what happens on the next restart?

When a wrestler receives a third penalty for stalling, the rules dictate that the opponent is awarded two match points and gets the choice of position for the restart. This serves as a way to penalize the stalling wrestler while providing an opportunity for the opponent to gain a better position on the mat, potentially giving them an advantage in the match. Awarding points in this scenario helps discourage stalling and encourages active wrestling, which is central to the spirit of the sport.

The additional match points awarded reflect the seriousness of repeated stalling, and granting choice of position allows the opponent to strategically decide how to initiate the next phase of the match, thereby enhancing the competition's fairness and integrity.
