If this was at D2 (Im sure it was) that wrestler is NOT moving on!
There was a meeting after the match and he was informed he could not contiune.
Nothing was said about the 5th place kid replacing him.

I was not at that meeting but I am a coach & board member for that club and that is what was explained to me.
SO, I would assume that would be the case but we all know what happens when we ASSUME!
