Tournament format
2021-22 seeded wrestlers (PDF)
The PAC Championships 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 weight classes is 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, as necessary.
Tournament Team Scoring: Tournament Scoring Chart, Four Places (Rule 4, Section 8)
• First place: 10 points
• Second place: 7 points
• Third place: 4 points
• Fourth place: 2 points
Tournament Placement Points (Rule 4, Section 8, Art. 1)
Individual placement points should be awarded as soon as earned. Placement points already earned shall be deducted in cases of disqualification for flagrant misconduct. When two wrestlers are paired together in a placing round and both wrestlers forfeit or medical forfeit the match, each wrestler will share the lowest place and split the total available team points in that round.
Tournament Scoring to Four Places (Rule 4, Section 8, Art. 4)
In tournaments scoring four places, the winner of each championship semifinal should be awarded seven place points and the winner of each championship final should be awarded three additional place points. The winner of each wrestle-back semifinal should receive two place points, and the winner of third place should receive two additional place points.
More Than One Entry per Institution (Rule 4, Section 8, Art. 5)
When more than one competitor from the same institution competes in a given weight class, only the score for the competitor with the highest number of team points shall be used for calculating team points.
Tournament Advancement Points (Rule 4, Section 8, Art. 7)
One team point shall be scored for each match won in the championship bracket and 0.5 point in the wrestle-back bracket. One point in the championship bracket and 0.5 point in the wrestleback bracket shall be awarded for a bye if the wrestler receiving the bye wins in the next round. Advancement points are not given for placing matches or when a wrestler advances in a bracket because of a no contest resulting from an opponent reaching their daily match limit.
Bonus Points (Rule 4, Section 8, Art. 8)
Two additional points shall be scored for each match won by fall, forfeit, medical forfeit, default, disqualification or flagrant misconduct throughout the tournament. A total of 1.5 points shall be awarded for each match won by a technical fall. One point shall be awarded for each match won by a major decision.
• Won by major decision (win match by 8-14 points): 1 point
• Won by technical fall (differential of 15-plus points): 1.5 points
• Won by fall, forfeit, medical forfeit, default, disqualification, flagrant misconduct: 2 points
Failure to Make Weight (Rule 4, Section 8, Art. 9)
