OPEN WEIGHT CLASSES WILL COUNT THE SAME AS FORFEITS DO IN A DUAL MEET. 6. WE WILL ATTEMPT TO FILL THE SIXTH POSITION IN EACH BRACKET BY ALLOWING TEAMS TO ENTER ADDITIONAL WRESTLERS AS VARSITY RESERVES. THESE WRESTLERS WILL NOT COUNT TOWARDS THEIR VARSITY TEAM SCORE. WE WILL OPEN THE TRACKWRESTLING PROGRAM SO ALL COACHES CAN SEE ANY BRACKETS WITHOUT SIX WRESTLERS. ONCE SIX HAVE BEEN REACHED FOR EACH BRACKET, THAT BRACKET WILL BE CLOSED. 7.
