As I prepare for seeding meetings I tend to catch myself going to teams that use track wrestling and comparing the records they turn in to the records on track wrestling. Then I noticed something that might be hard to catch if you did not go through and click on each teams competition on their schedule.

Some schools are counting bye's as wins on their athletes records. When I commit or approve stats from competition, I always delete matches with bye's and when the box shows up that says count bye's I always click no. I could be wrong and please, someone, correct me if I am. But bye's do not (and should not) count as wins on season record correct?

I am under the impression you count forfeits from dual's and forfeits or defaults in tournaments as wins, but taking the first round bye, or the back door bye's and counting them is wrong.

In the past, I have been against forcing anything on anyone in this country. However, I am buying in more and more that KSHSAA should adopt Track Wrestling as the universal program for stats and tournament programs.

Thoughts, input, etc. etc.

I am not here to call anyone out, but instead try to get us all as close to the same page as possible.
