Forfeit: If one wrestler fails to appear on the mat at the start of the match for some reason, and the other wrestler appears on the mat, the wrestler on the mat at the start of the match is automatically declared the winner.[16] The winning team in a dual meet is then awarded six team points.[13] If during the tournament, a wrestler wishes to no longer participate because of illness or injury, then their opponent wins by medical forfeit,[16] worth the same number of individual and team tournament placement points as a forfeit.[17]
