Good Question

thanks for the good question, and coach thanks for the good answer. I might add that to get the lift point your opponent must lift you from the "par terre" position.
The rule goes like this:
ONE POINT ACTION..........
"In order to stimulate spectacular holds requiring great technical effort, officials shall award an additional point for any continuous hold executed during a lift from the ground that causes the attacked wrestler to completely lose contact with the mat. In this situation, the referee shall award 5 or 3 points and then also will award the additional point."
