If a wrestler has a bye and wins his very next match, he will earn an advancement point for the bye.

If a wrestler has a bye and loses his very next match, he will not earn any advancement point(s).

Each wrestler who is not in a pigtail match in either the championship or consolation bracket is considered to have received a bye since they didn't wrestle a pigtail match. If those wrestler go on to win their first match, they will receive 2 advancement points due to the bye.

If the losing wrestler in the championship bracket pigtail match wins his wrestleback match, he will earn an additional .5 advancement points due to a bye. This bye is not shown on the NCAA brackets due to space constraints.

 

 

Tie Breaker Scenario: If at the end of the tournament, two or more teams end up in a tie, 1st place will be awarded to the team with the most individual champions. If no team is awarded then we will go to individual All-Americans, then we will go with the team that used the lowest salary cap
