What is a "sudden victory" round?

A "sudden victory" round refers to an overtime period in wrestling where the first wrestler to score becomes the winner of the match. This format is used when the match is tied at the end of regulation time, ensuring a resolution without additional scoring criteria. The excitement of this rule lies in its immediate conclusion – it elevates the intensity and urgency, as both wrestlers pursue points to secure the victory before the round ends. The sudden victory round is crucial in determining a clear winner in closely contested matches, emphasizing the skills and strategy of both competitors in a high-pressure scenario.
