Tournament format
This year’s league championships will feature double-elimination brackets with each school having the opportunity to enter up to two student-athletes in each of the 10 weight classes. The seeding of each program’s top wrestler in the 10 classes was determined by the league’s coaches, and wrestlers from the same team competing in each class will be placed on opposite sides of the bracket. First-round byes will be placed randomly throughout the brackets.

Length of matches
• 7 minutes (3-2-2)
• Sudden victory period(s) as needed

Individual weight class scoring
• First place = 10 points
• Second place = 7 points
• Third place = 4 points
• Fourth place = 2 point
Note: The highest point scorer in each weight class will be used from each team, not necessarily the seeded wrestler.

Team scoring
The team finishing with the most total points is the champion
• Winners bracket victory = 1 point
• Semifinal victory after a quarterfinal bye = 1 point
• Consolation bracket victory = 0.5 point

Bonus points
• Fall, forfeit, injury default or disqualification = 2 points
• Technical fall (differential of 15-plus points) = 1.5 points
• Major decision (win match by 8-14 points) = 1 point
