NCAA Wrestling Tournament Team Scoring Explained

There are 3 different ways a wrestler can score team points during the NCAA Tournament: 1) Advancement Points, 2) Bonus Points, 3) Placement Points. Advancement points are earned by a wrestler recording a win either in the championship rounds or in the consolation rounds. A wrestler receives 1 point for a win in the championship rounds but only .5 points for a win in the consolation rounds. 

Bonus points are added to advancement points if a wrestler wins by fall, tech fall, or major decision:

• 2 points - fall, forfeit, default, disqualification
• 1.5 points - tech fall 
• 1 point - major decision

Finally, wrestler's receive points for their team based on where they place:

• 1st place: 16 points
• 2nd place: 12 points
• 3rd place: 10 points
• 4th place: 9 points
• 5th place: 7 points
• 6th place: 6 points
• 7th place: 4 points
• 8th place: 3 points
