Anyone notice more forfeits this year? Is the lack of regionals causing this? Not wanting to compete in head to head matches with someone you beat once so will be ranked above and don’t want to give them a chance to even it up? Or ducking so you have a better win record? Forfeits MUST count against athletes. Or we are gonna have more and more kids forfeiting. Thoughts on this and how to stop the forfeits. Especially when they forfeit one match but still continue in the tournament. Doesn’t seem like you should be allowed to continue if you forfeit a match.

I can say that a significant number of wrestlers at many schools have been sick and or injured this season. It’s been bizarre, but when kids wear mask for 2 years there’s a good chance immunity goes in the toilet. Thanks Jay Inslee.

I’m talking about kids making it to finals then not wrestling finals. Or not wrestling semifinal match…but continuing and placing. They trying to pad their win/loss record? Or avoid the head to head matches?
