Forfeits in tournaments counting as losses

[Animal197]

Hello list,

I was at an NAIA/NCAA D3/NCWA open this weekend. They had 4 mats going total and it was a long day. I saw some teams leave early and forfeit in the finals/consi finals (including a few of the double FFTs). Do those circumstances not count as a loss? I know that the first medical forfeit in an open counts as a loss now.

thanks in advance.

I imagine it might depend which of the 3 organizations was involved. NCAA Forfeits always count as losses. NCAA Med forfeits (as you mentioned) count as a loss in the first one unless the previous match was a default loss.

They probably just had a long drive home...
