Anaya dominated her journey to the semi finals with 2 tech falls in the the 1st period leading up to the semi finals. After about a 2 hour break it was time to face a strong opponent in the semis. Both girls wrestled hard. Her opponent in this match was defiantly the best girl Anaya had to face in all of her matches. Anaya wanted to test her self against the top seed as she is currently ranked #3 in the nation. Unfortunately that didn't take place due to this loss.
What is frustrating is we feel Anaya was short changed in the match. We believe the score should have been 10 to 6 or 13 to 6 Anaya. The first missed points takes placed when Anaya initiating a throw leading to both girls going out of bounds. The refs gave her opponent 2. We challenged the call to only lose and give up a point making the score 0-3. The problem with the refs reviewing the call is the table workers did not follow the action with the camera at the table. This cuts off the throw that Anaya did. In our video you can see the throw clearly and we believe the points for Anaya should have been 4.
The next missed point is the girls going out of bounds standing. I prove a shot from flo to show that that Anaya's opponent is the first to step out of bound. Unfortunately the ref give her opponent 1. Not sure what he was looking at.
Shortly after this point was giving Anaya shots in get into a whizzer to work her self out and take the back with hooks in. I provide the shot from us as well as flo so that you can see Anaya has hooks in. The ref at the table informed us no points because the opponent had Anaya's arm. Again we believe this call to be wrong as Anaya escaped the whizzer.
The last missed call we feel is at the end. Anaya exposes the back then worsk her way to take the back. Anaya is only awarded 2 points. Was it for exposing the back or was it for taking the back. Either way where are the other 2 points?
This was a tough loss for Anaya. She was attacking and wrestling smart leading up to this match and majority of this match. The big mistake she made was when she attempted a throw going out of bounds to end up on her back giving her opponent 4 points. Outside of that, Anaya was in control. The several missed calls placed Anaya into a different state of mind during the match and yet she battled back to make the match a close one. After the match ended the coach for her opponent came to our side and said something along the likes that we were right. This didn't change anything, but it was nice to know he was seeing the same thing as us and was respectful enough to talk with us.
After the match was over Anaya had to refocus to wrestle again to try to make it to the 3rd place match. Anaya was able to do this but wrestled recklessly giving up points that she normal doesn't. Anaya need up taking 4th as she lost in the 3rd place match. She was wrestling mad and unfocused.
This is a tough lesson to learn for us all. This will stick with her for sometime. She will grow from this. I find it frustrating going to freestyle tournaments to not have refs that are educated in freestyle. I also find it frustrating going to tournaments where table workers are not taking camera work serious and following the action of the match. When this happens challenges do not get the proper attention they need as there is no video to support the challenge.
If you feel that I am incorrect with what I believe the score should have been or if I am mistaken with questioning the points given, please respectfully share you thoughts.
