The Match:
It is important to prevent players from being knocked completely off of the mat. It is also ESPECIALLY important that spotters be on all four sides of the mat to prevent players from falling BACKWARDS- even onto the mat. Injury can occur when a player falls onto his back. Always try to break his fall.
