a bye doesn't count as a win, unless;

A. the wrestler has an open in a dual meet, or
B. the bye occurs in a dual tournament format in which it is scored as a dual, then it would be considered a win

a bye in a tournament doesn't count as a win, but if they win their next match it counts in as team points but not a win on their record, but neither of the above mentioned ways of counting them as wins counts at regional seeidng meetings, so they just help throughout the year, hope this helps
