4. Team scoring should change for wrestlers that receive byes in tournaments. As the rule stands now, if they wrestler wins the next match after a bye they get the advancement points for the bye, if they lose they get nothing. That means if they are on the championship side they get 2 points and if they are on the consolation side they get 1 point.

If they get a bonus point win after the bye they should also get the bonus points for the bye. That means if they get a fall after the bye on the championship side they get 4 points and not just 2 points. If they can get a fall in the 2nd round of a tournament, them they can surly get a fall in the 1st round. This would give some incentive to compete hard and try to get bonus points for those wrestlers that had the unfortunate bad luck of drawing a bye.
