Wrestling Postseason Formats

The twelve teams with the highest number of quality points qualify for the single-elimination tournament. Quality points are determined by the following:

- Each victory over a team in Division I-A earns 4 points multiplied by the number of victories that defeated team has

- Each victory over a team in Division I-B earns 3.5 points multiplied by the number of victories that defeated team has (for example if team A beats team B which is in I-A and has 10 victories, team A will garner 40 quality points for that one win)

- Each victory over a team in Division II-A earns 3 points multiplied by the number of victories that defeated team has

- Each victory over a team in Division II-B earns 2.5 points multiplied by the number of victories that defeated team has

- Each victory over a team in Division II-C earns 2 points multiplied by the number of victories that defeated team has
