littlevito Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 No team receives any points. A wrestler must be present on the mat to have his hand raised to receive forfeit points. If no wrestler for each team, then no points for each team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chambers Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 In the NFHS wrestling rules book rule 9-2-1d says " A double forfeit is considered as no points for either contestant and no points for either team." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when all you need is a 70% from an open book test to get an officiating license, that is the quality you will get. ssvanderaa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janders2 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 In all faireness, team points are something that referees deal with very rarely. Usually, their only experience is is taking away single team points due to infractions. Even then, it seems that the expectation for team point computation is in the hands of the table scorer or event manager. Still though.....something that officials should know or at least be able to reference in the rules books that they bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
