DRules
  1. Eyes on the ref, not the wrestlers. The ref’s call is the score — not what you think you saw.
  2. Tap immediately, verify after. Don’t pause to think. Tap then glance at the scoreboard.
  3. If you miss a call, ask the ref. Between actions, calmly: “Was that 2 or 3?” — not after the period.
  4. No coaching, no commentary. Neutral hands · neutral face. Coaches argue with the ref, not you.
