if there is only double elimanation to third place how do they figure out 5th and 6th??

[WGC]

I will find out for sure, but I think it means say you lose your first match - you can wrestle back to third place if you continue to win in the wrestle backs. Then if you do not win your bout to go for say third/fourth you wrestle for fifth/sixth.

[BCwrestling135]

it'll probably be like state

[stepped in what?]

no not at all in the years past it has been if you lose early you can wrestle all the way back for 3rd, but if you lose in the semis of the wrestle backs then you are going for 5th/6th and anytime before the semis of the wrestle backs you are done

period length? college division

[WGC]

I'll have to double check, but I think it was 1 - 2 - 2 for College Matches.

Middle School matches were 1-1-1

High School matches were 1-1.5-1.5
