Currently a team is not awarded points for meeting an open spot in the bracket unless the wrestler wins their next match. This is WRONG.

In 5A and 6A all regionals have eight teams competing. Many of these teams do NOT fill their roster. Since we keep TEAM score and crown a TEAM regional champs, these open roster spots should be scored as FORFEITS. A wrestler should NOT have to win his next round match to score team points. It is not logical to score this way. If a team doesn't bring a wrestler it is not in the opposing team's control. Advancement and Bonus points MUST be awarded immediately when you encounter an OPEN roster spot or you are penalizing a team for brining a full line up. How can anyone think this is ok?

Thoughts?
