The SHSAA Executive Council has adopted the CAWA rules (revised November 2013) for SHSAA competitions (http://www.wrestling.ca/pdf/WCL_Rulebook_2013_v2.0.pdf).  The following are SHSAA modifications to the CAWA rules in addition to or in place of those already listed in the SHSAA handbook.

LENGTH OF MATCH:

1. Bouts are 2 rounds of 3 minutes each with a 30 second intermission between rounds
   1. CAWA has some age classification differences but since the SHSAA covers a range of age classes - 2 rounds of 3 minutes will be used

TECHNICAL SUPERIORTY:

1. One of the criteria for Technical Superiority will be determined by:
   1. When one wrestler attains a 10 point advantage over the opponent (the CAWA rulebook uses 7 points)
   2. There are no 5 point manoeuvres in SHSAA competition

TIE-BREAK PROCEDURE:

1. The present SHSAA tie-breaker of a sudden death period will no longer be used.  The tie-break procedure outlined in the rules (pages 22 - 23; Article 17b; Winner of Bout; c-e) will be used in SHSAA competition.
   1. Technical points as outlined in the CAWA rulebook (5 point actions not a part of SHSAA)
   2. Cautions
   3. Last point scored
