How do byes and the dual meet weight order affect the scorebook?

Byes (new language for 2026-27):

• A bye is not a match. Don't record it in the wrestler's match record.
• Byes don't count toward the limits of six matches per day or 10 matches in a two-day event.
• Byes may now appear after the first round, for example in round-robin pools or scramble events run through tournament software.

Dual meet weight order (since 2025-26):

• The starting weight class is set by random draw before weigh-ins, supervised by the referee or another authorized person, or the meet runs from lightest to heaviest.
• In a multi-dual event, each later dual starts one weight class above the previous round's starting weight.

Keep a running team score after each match in a dual meet.
