Wrestling State Meet

To be able to wrestle at the state tournament you had to place in the top 8 of your Division, at State the 16 best wrestlers in each weight class from 5A will wrestle to see who’s the champion.
A wrestling team scores points via the results of its individual wrestler’s matches:
6 Points: Wrestler wins by pin or forfeit, injury default or disqualification of the opponent.
5 Points: Wrestler wins by technical fall.
4 Points: Wrestler wins by major decision (point spread of between 8 and 14 points).
3 Points: Wrestler wins by regular decision (7 points or less).
