1. Verbena, Pratt, def. Engles, Andale, 3-2;
3. Neal, Heights, by forfeit.
***At 119 lbs, Conner Neal of Wichita Heights won by forfeit he had only wrestled 4 matches and his opponent had wrestled 5 matches.
NFHS Wrestling Case/Manual Pg. 6 1.2.2 Situation Ruling.
If one wrestler had wrestled in four matches and the other in five matches, then the wrestler with four matches would be the winner by forfeit. So I interpret this as Conner would get a forfeit win and bonus pts b/c matches won by forfeit also allow the winner to get bonus points as well so this is all good. Below is my problem:
[quote]215
1. Crump, Pratt, def. Ediger, Dodge City, 8-4;
3. Garcia, Newton, by forfeit over Tyler Keller, NW.
**The Third Place match here was decided by a coin flip because both wrestlers had competed in 5 matches. Garcia from Newton won the coin flip and was awarded 3rd Place and 5 team pts. 3 for third place and 2 bonus pts for bonus pts b/c of the forfeit. This put Newton on top of Wichita Heights 175 to 174.
Now according to NFHS Wrestling Case/Manual Pg. 6 1.2.2 Situation.
[b]If it was the match for third place and both wrestlers had been in five matches, then they would both receive points for fourth place. There could be no third-place finisher[
/b]
So, according to the NFHS Case/Manual Situation Ruling for 1.2.2., Garcia of Newton along with Keller of NW should of both been awarded 4th place pts. and Garcia should not have received any points as 2nd & 4th place pts had already been awared before the finals started. Since third place was vacated as well, no bonus should have been awarded either? Therefore, the final team score of the Bishop Carroll Inv Should have been:
Wichita Heights 174
Newton 170
Andale 161
