No doubt the GMVWA has the worse refs of all the holiday tourny's in the state.

I watched Archer's 132s first match where he got hit a few times with stall calls (Ohio fan and graduate of the school he was wrestling)...questionable at best. As I watched the same ref throughout the tournament I noticed him make numerous stall calls which sent matches into OT. If sprawling in the 1st isn't a stall then it'd shouldn't be in the final 30 seconds. None I saw which sent matches into OT were blatant to the point they needed/ or could of even expected to be called.

Another copy/paste from Yappi talking about all the BS stalling calls. It's as if every noob ref is invited to call GMVWA and they get bonus points towards working state if they can put matches into OT.



Archer from Georgia beat Graham.

I watched the entire match and thought it was poorly officiated. Bowshier got hit for stalling even though he took many of the shots, but backed out of ties in which Demas wanted to be in. Demas was hit for stalling when he would sprawl to avoid being taken down off of Bowshier's, but still offensive with his upper body ties. As a referee, you need to understand these two had different types of offensive. Demas was hit in the middle of the third period with a stalling call that put Bowshier up by 1, then Bowshier was hit with just a second or two left on the clock to put it into overtime. I believe neither should have been hit for stalling and would have went into overtime anyways.

Officials need to know that they are there to officiate the match, not dictate the match.
