What is the minimum number of points a wrestler must score to avoid losing by technical fall?

To avoid losing by technical fall in wrestling, a wrestler must score a minimum of 15 points. A technical fall occurs when one wrestler has a lead of 15 or more points over the opponent at any time during the match. Scoring even a single point ensures that a wrestler is not completely blanked, while reaching 15 points indicates that the wrestler has effectively contested the match and prevented a technical fall. Hence, maintaining this threshold is critical for a wrestler to keep the match competitive and avoid a loss under this ruling.
