jdsdad 3 Report post Posted December 8, 2009 I had noticed that at state duals forfeits count for points. That's funny being that last year at state tournament forfeits did NOT count. It sure is funny (former youth president )how rules change.If we are going to make our sport grow (and not benefit some)we need rules that stay the same. :roll: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ccbcdeke 43 Report post Posted December 8, 2009 It would make sense for a forfeit to count in a dual and not an individual tourney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted December 8, 2009 Forfeits count for team points in duals. Always have and always will. This is a competition between two FULL teams and all their weight classes. If a team does not have a weight class the other team benefits. Otherwise a team with one wrestler could win every dual, common sense here. :-o (especially if he is a wrestler like Brock Ervin) :-DTournaments are individual based. If a kid weighs in and then forfeits the team gets the team points. If it is a BYE then no team points are awarded. Remember not every kid qualifies for the state tourney, therefore most teams will not have complete teams there. Hope this helps Jdsdad. Glad to have new parents in the sport who are paying attention and trying to learn the sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoachBrown 12 Report post Posted December 8, 2009 A FORFEIT normally means something has happened to the wrestler that was entered at a particular weight, for example, an injury or the wrestler was disqualified. Otherwise it is called a BYE, as was previously stated, and no points are awarded (though advancement pts. are). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
