Double elimination
In the VT record book, you'll notice some wrestlers only wrestled once in the NCAA Tournament(i.e. 1956, 1962, 1983) WHY?? Well, until 1996 the NCAA was not a true double elimination tournament. Wrestlers that lost a match in the bracket section with the #1, #2 or #3 ranked wrestler (or the wrestler who beat them) dropped into the consolation round. There were some variables depending on weight class and number of bracket participants. For all others, it was one defeat and your out. [Post edited by wasris at 05/07/2020 06:20AM]
