Back points are scored when you expose your opponent’s back. The referee counts when shoulders face the mat. Control must be clear during exposure. The count lasts for a set time. More exposure time earns more points.
These are also called near-fall points. Wrestlers aim to turn opponents for this reason. For example, a wrestler tilts his opponent onto their back. The referee counts and awards back points. This increases the scoring lead quickly. Back points reward strong control. They often decide close matches.
