Spladle

The spladle is a wrestling technique commonly used as a counter and pinning move to single leg take downs.

[1][2] As a pin that is the result of countering a take down, this is a very effective technique to use when possible in order to score, however the position in which the two wrestlers land can breed controversy as to who the points will go to.

This is caused by both competitors landing with their shoulders flat on the mat, this is known as a double pin, while not very common of an occurrence they still can happen and result in the point being awarded to the dominant wrestler or the one being pinned based on what happened in the movements and moments leading up to it.

In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to, once holding the pin, attempt to ensure that the shoulders stay at minimum 20 degrees off the mat.

Another submission and pin it is similar to it the "electric chair" or "banana split" in that it forces the legs of the one captured in it apart, forward or back in such a way it puts a lot of tension on the hamstring, quad and crotch muscles in the legs which could result in the tearing of said muscles if the competitors and referee are not careful to stop or hold the submission (pin) so no further tension is placed on the legs.
