DrBaker 497 Report post Posted March 3, 2021 Is an injury default a loss? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrestleref 4 Report post Posted March 3, 2021 Technically I believe so. One example of this happening I can think of was Jason Detre from LaRue his senior year. Blew out his elbow first match if the year and had to default. Came back at State Duels and ran off 18 straight wins en-route to his 2nd State Title. His official record that year was 18-1.

A sprained ankle for example and could not wrestle the finals. Does your opponent receive a head to head victory over you if you have to forfeit the finals match?

J.W. 21 Report post Posted March 3, 2021 According to NFHS, if you wrestled in the bracket at any time, medical forfeits and injury defaults are counted as a loss. Not at collegiate level though. Unless something changed in last couple of years, it is an L on record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This happened to us a few years ago at the UHA tourney. Kid got hurt in the semifinals we won, had to MFF the finals. it is a loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
