The first postseason event is the Regional tournament. A Regional consists of approximately 8-10 teams. Each team has the right to put forth a full lineup of 14 wrestlers. Each wrestler competes to win his/her weight class bracket. Based on individual tournament scoring, the top team earns a place in one of the four Dual Team Sectionals. If a team does not win the Regional title, then that team’s dual team season is over. Dual Team Sectionals is a one round dual meet contest. Dual Team Sectionals takes place on the Tuesday night after the Individual State Finals. The winner of this dual meet advances to Dual Team State, typically the first Saturday that follows. Beginning in 2008-2009, there will be no Dual Team Sectional champion. Dual Team State takes place on the Saturday after Individual State Finals. 8 teams will comprise the Dual Team State Tournament. 1st place and 3rd place champions will be crowned at Dual Team State.
