If there is a three man round robin that ends in all 3 kids 1-1 and no pins what is the tiebreaking?

Usually points or take downs I believe.

That is what I thought but d-3 east rewrestled the whole bracket over again. The kid that took 1st the first time ended up with third.......

There are rules stated in the rule book for such an event, I am not sure all the details but wrestling the bracket over again is in there.

Pins=4 points
tech fall
forfeit
injury default all=3
maj. dec.=2
decision =1

head to head first tiebreaker
then points from above
if no winner can be determined the bracket is rewrestled

my bad forfeit, injury default, and disqualification are all worth 4 points. This is Rule #10 under kids modifications

Rewreatling the bracket is not an option!!!
The original bracket needs to be reviewed and THOSE results need to be upheld!

Here's the rule:

are you referring to a particular situation? because the bracket can absolutely be rewrestled, if a winner cannot be determined otherwise.

It is also a possibility that the scorekeepers forgot to keep the criteria needed on the bout slips and thus required the bracket to be rewrestled.

had that happen at a tournament about 5 or 6 years ago. 3 man RR, all 1-1. it's 3 pm, long day no one wants to re-wrestle. what a mess.

Same situation - my solution was to offer all three wrestlers the opportunity of re-wrestling the bracket or provide all three with a gold medal. The wrestlers decision was unanimous, all three received a gold medal, and went home happy.

we tried that too! the problem was 2 of the kids (dads) didn't want to share first place, they thought it was theirs, and theirs only. we ended up losing a wrestler from our club, because he nor his parents could understand how criteria worked. the tournament director offered to flip a coin, jokingly. the parents LOVED that one.

But this is not your avg tournament.
The results of that bracket has effect that span the entire state. The rules must be followed to the tee and no where does it say rewrestle the bracket.
If they kept track of pins and points then a winner should be figured out.

You are mistaken. The rule is crystal clear.

In the event of a tie in a round robin, the winner will be determined based on head-to-head competition. If head-to-head competition cannot determine the winner, the winner will be determined by total points earned:
Fall, forfeit, default or disqualification - (4)
Technical fall - (3)
Major decision (8 to 14 pts) - (2)
Decision (0 to 7 pts) - (1)
If the winner still cannot be determined, the total bracket will be wrestled again. Emphasis Added

I stand corrected! as usual!

In the particular bracket he is talking about at East Sub-District, all three wrestlers each had a win. The win was all by decisions (none were majors or technical) --

All 3 of them would have each had one pt. therefore, resulting in a 3-way tie.

Yes, we did re-wrestle the bracket as the rules state and TRUE 1-3 was determined.
