Used for NFHS (High School) and NCAA (College) tournaments.
Points awarded when a wrestler wins by a specific method:
| Result Type | Bonus Points |
|---|---|
| Fall / Pin | 2 |
| Forfeit | 2 |
| Disqualification (DQ) | 2 |
| Injury Default | 2 |
| Technical Fall (15+ point difference) | 1.5 |
| Major Decision (8–14 point difference) | 1 |
| Regular Decision (fewer than 8 points) | 0 |
Points awarded for each win, based on the bracket type:
| Bracket Type | Points per Win |
|---|---|
| Championship (Winners) Bracket | 1 |
| Consolation (Losers) Bracket | 0.5 |
Placement rounds (e.g., 3rd-place match) do not award advancement points.
Points awarded based on final tournament placement in each bracket:
| Placement | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st Place (Champion) | 16 |
| 2nd Place (Runner-up) | 12 |
| 3rd Place | 10 |
| 4th Place | 9 |
| 5th Place | 7 |
| 6th Place | 6 |
| 7th Place | 4 |
| 8th Place | 3 |
A team's total points are calculated as:
Total Points = Advancement Points + Bonus Points + Placement Points
Points are aggregated across all brackets (divisions) in a tournament. Higher total points indicate stronger overall team performance.
