Will she be the first wrestler to go 0-1 at regionals and qualify for state?
there have been a lot of wrestlers who have been 0-2 and qualified for state. And yes there have been 3 man brackets where someone was 0-1 and qualified for state. If she does lose and has a forfeit, it is my understanding she would actually be 1-1. If SJA/STA are seeded 2/3, potentially the boy will be the person with the 0-1 record and qualify for state.
Also, there may only be 4 people in the bracket.
There are six in the bracket. By random draw the MV wrestler matches up against the 2 seed. The 2 seed will FF and then the 3 seed who had a bye to the semis will FF and that puts the MV wrestler in the finals. Both the 2 and 3 seed will have to win a match, on the mat, to qualify for state. It is funny that it is ok to score team points for a FF of this nature but not for the 3 seed who really matched up against either Miege's or BVSW's inability to fill their roster which is really a forfeit. You can go back to that thread where a few old schoolers were appalled that I take the stance that matching up against and open should AUTOMATICALLY earn your team points not after you win a match on the mat. The 3 seed will be robbed of 4 team points when he forfeits the semis. This is an antequated, out dated mindset. Fill your rosters or suffer the consequences of giving up points to those teams who do!
