Scoring record

Scoring leaders, all years

Who leads each count across every championship the scoring record covers, 2012 to 2026. Each block is the top of the career totals; its list ranks every wrestler as a career and as one championship, for any span of years, with the per-bout and per-7-minute rates.

Three rule changes fall inside these years. 2019: the brackets grew to 33 seeds. 2022: the first sudden-victory period became 2 minutes. 2024: the 3-point takedown and the 3-count near fall, so a jump from 2023 to 2024 is a change in the rules before it is a change in the wrestling.

How these are counted

Every figure here is counted from the scoring record, bout by bout, from the counts on each scoring sheet.

A bout counts once for each side: a wrestler's for columns are their own counts and the against columns are the opponent's; a team's are the sums over its qualifiers' bouts that year.

Takedowns
For: takedowns scored. Against: takedowns allowed.
Escapes
For: escapes. Against: escapes allowed.
Reversals
For: reversals. Against: reversals allowed.
Near-fall points
For: near-fall points. Against: near-fall points allowed.
Stalling calls
For: drawn, the stalling calls against the opponent. Against: called, the stalling calls against this side.
Riding-time points
For: riding-time points. Against: riding-time points allowed.
Points
For: points scored. Against: points allowed.

Points is the sum of every scoring row credited to that side, penalties and riding time included; points allowed is the opponent's sum. Cautions, penalty points and the tiebreak riding-time rows are carried in the data and shown on the bout page, not in these tables.

Statistics include only bouts whose scoring sheet is reconciled: the sheet's rows add up to every printed period total and to the scoreboard. A sheet that does not reconcile, and a bout with no wrestling, are left out, and the scoring record's hub says how many and why.

The scoring record begins in 2012, the first championship with full bout-level data: every bout's scoring sheet, not only its result. Earlier championships have their brackets and results in the record, but not their scoring sheets.

Totals are the sums over the bouts in scope. Per qualifier divides the totals by the record's qualifier count for that program and year, the same count the program page prints (team rows only). Per bout divides the totals by the bouts in scope. Per 7 min is the totals times 420 divided by the sum of the mat time, in seconds, over the bouts in scope: one pooled rate, never a mean of per-bout rates. A bout with no mat time is left out of both the numerator and the denominator of that unit, and the page says how many are left out.

Rates list wrestlers with three or more bouts; a wrestler with fewer is left out of the per-bout and per-7-minute lists.

On the all-years lists, the career list sums a wrestler's bouts over every championship in the span; its rates list wrestlers with three bouts per championship wrestled, summed, so a wrestler with bouts at four championships needs twelve.
