    Wrestle Offs

    NOTES: Wrestle offs are conducted based on team need. This is a coach’s decision.

    • The number two person in each weight class may challenge the number one person.
    • Once a weight class is claimed, challenger must defeat starter more times than they have lost to them (has won 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 5 challenges).
    • You must give coaches at least one-day notice of any challenge. All wrestle offs/ challenges will be done before practice.
    • If any varsity wrestler is unable to compete due to illness or injury, he is still considered to be the varsity starter upon his return although another wrestler competed in his place.
    • If a varsity position is vacated, that weight class is declared “open” and any wrestler can challenge for it. Only one victory over each competitor is required to earn that position. Example: when a varsity wrestler switches to another weight class.
    • If strategy or injury dictates changing the line-up after wrestle-offs have concluded, the coaches can determine the competitors per weight class for a dual meet.
