I believe competition points play into this debate. If a dual meet costs my kid a competition point, and the other team is open, I don't think it's unreasonable to log that as a W.

My kid made weight. He was ready to wrestle. It's counting against his overall number of competitions allowed. I have no problem with that being considered a win on their record.

Now, if an open in a dual no longer cost a competition point I would feel a bit different on the subject.
