About Wrestling Points Calculator

Freestyle scoring gives two points for a takedown or an exposure and one for a pushout; a ten point lead ends the bout by technical superiority. Since the bout stops at a ten point margin, the points-to-superiority figure tells a leading wrestler how close a win by dominance actually is.

Formulas

Points

points = 2 x takedowns + 2 x exposures + 1 x pushouts

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to whole numbers, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
