The standing criteria that I have always seen is if the whistle blows to start a match, it counts on your record. If a wrestler weighs in then gets sick and goes home. He does not receive two losses on his record.
FORFEIT—In a dual match, a forfeit is received by a wrestler when his opponent, for any reason, fails to appear for the match. In order to receive the forfeit, the wrestler must have made weight, be dressed in a wrestling uniform, and appear on the mat.
In a tournament situation, once a wrestler has made weight and appears on the bracket, if for any reason he fails to appear for a match, it is a forfeit. In order to receive the forfeit, his opponent shall have made weight, be dressed in a legal wrestling uniform and shall appear on the mat. A forfeit shall eliminate a contestant from further competition in a tournament.
