The principle is the same for a scramble tournament and a bracketed tournament, in my opinion. If it's a 16 man bracket tournament with 16 teams - and a kid has a bye it's because a team couldn't fill a weight(obviously). That has never been labeled a win in the history of wrestling.

The same goes with scramble tournaments. If it's a bye, it's a bye.

I really don't like to post on here with my opinions and try to only use the site for the promotion of our program. However - if there are coaches out there that think byes are wins for a varsity record, then that needs to be addressed by someone in KSHSAA.
