What kind of freedom does the assistant referee have during a match?

The assistant referee is granted the same mobility as the referee, which allows them to move freely around the wrestling mat. This mobility is crucial for maintaining an optimal view of the match to make calls and support the referee effectively. An assistant referee can position themselves in various locations around the mat to ensure they have the best perspective on the action, which aids in making accurate judgments regarding scoring, illegal moves, and other critical aspects of the bout.

This flexibility enhances the officiating team's ability to manage the match dynamic effectively, ensuring that all facets of the bout are observed and assessed accurately, thereby maintaining the integrity of the competition.
