Medical Forfeit As Loss

[davenowa]

In trying to clarify language for high school state rule interpretations regarding forfeits and med forfeits to mirror NCAA, I have been unable to find an answer to the following scenario.  While I understand that only the first loss by MF counts unless the preceding match was a loss by injury default, what about the situation when wrestler A, in the semis is called for an illegal move that results in his opponent (wrestler B) being unable to continue due to injury?  This, by definition, is still recorded as an injury default (not a disqualification).  2 questions...

First, if wrestler B cannot compete in the finals (broken arm, for instance), does that MF loss count as a loss on record, or does the rule only pertain to losses taken in prior match by injury default, perhaps keeping him undefeated (even though he does not win the tournament)?

Second. if wrestler A drops to the consis and is inconsolable about his undefeated season being over, as the "injury default", although correctly ruled illegal by the official, resulted in, perhaps, the "winner" opting to not continue the match (maybe a little different scenario than the broken arm above, such as taking a dive).  Wrestler A elects to NOT continue in the consi side of the tournament.  Does he take a loss for his first MF in the consi semis, for although it was preceded by an injury default, it was NOT his injury that resulted in the match ending?  I will qualify this by stating that his coach went to the head table and said the reason he was not continue was in fact due to an injury or illness sustained in the tournament (either he punched a locker room wall in despair...or he threw up due to his heartbreak).

I guess it somewhat boils down to if the definition applies only to the wrestler who was INJURED in the match that ended by injury default.

Thanks

Are you suggesting a rule to a state to mirror? The NFHS rule doesn't mirror the college rule except for the name Medical Forfeit. In college once you declare a medical forfeit you are done competing but are allowed to continue through the bracket losing each successive bout. In HS, you declare a medical forfeit with the intent to recover from an injury past the next bout and then compete after that loss.
