Scoring - Classification Points

When the results of a match come in, the winner and loser get classification points as follows:

Win by Winner's Points Loser's Points
Fall (Pin) 4 0
Tech Fall (10 pt.+ difference) 4 0 or 1 *
Decision (< 10 pt. difference) 3 0 or 1 *
Injury Default, Forfeit,
Disqualification
4 0

* If the loser didn't score any points during the match, he gets zero classification points. If he did score points during the match, he gets one classification point. This only becomes important when you're trying to figure out who got what place.

When you are working as a scorekeeper at matside, you don't need to worry about this at all. You just have to circle the winner, cross out the loser, and add up the points (if it's not a fall). The folks back in the pairing room keep track of all the rest.
