Can someone please explain the change of the stalling call and how it will affect a match?

The way I read it, they are just taking stalling out of the technical violation progression (could be a locking hands, stalling, grabbing head gear, etc) that would lead to a disqualification and they are creating a separate progression specifically for stalling. 

 

Said progression would be:

1st - Warning

2nd - 1 pt

3rd - 1 pt

4th - 2pts

5th - DQ

 

Again this is just my interpretation from just briefly reading it. It would allow referees to actually call stalling and it not DQ an athlete as quickly as it may have in the past due to it originally being on the same progression as locking hands and other technical violations.

Thank you!  That doesn't seem to be as much as a game changer as I had thought.
