For the regional tournament, weighing in and making weight places the wrestler's name on the tournament bracket. Failure to participate in the official weigh-in or failure to make weight is a bye.

In a tournament situation once a wrestler has made weight and appears on the bracket, if for any reason he fails to appear for a match, it is a forfeit.

Exception: When the forfeit is because of an injury or illness which occurred during the tournament, the tournament director, in consultation with available medical personnel and the coach of the injured contestant shall determine the contestant's ability to continue.
