Set your opponent or second participating team

You'll need to set the second participating team in the match. You have the option of loading an existing team roster or manually entering in the team data (in which case you will be prompted to create the roster after the match or game is created and saved. Note: if you manually enter the roster into the match or game, it will not be available for use in subsequent matches or games).

Make adjustments to the Dual Rules

Please review the dual scoring rules. Rules are automatically set to the current NCAA timing and scoring rules (Use Riding Time, 3PT Near Falls and 3PT Takedowns).

More details on the available options are below:


Use Timing/Clock - Will use a running clock to track action during bouts. You can toggle this setting on to just enter action as it occurs and not use specific match time (you will still be able to enter timing needed for scoring events, such as falls, elapsed match time, injury timeouts and riding time).


Use Riding Time - Tracks and awards riding time points for the bouts. Toggle off for high school or other levels that do not award Riding Time points.


Track Advanced Stats - Enables tracking of advanced/additional statistics including shots, counter, tie ups and moves used for takedowns, pinning combinations.


Note: please note that rules cannot be adjusted once the first bout has begun. To change dual match rules at that point, you would need to create a new match.

Make adjustments to the Dual Rules
Doublecheck Weight Classes and Save Match

Please double check the weight classes that will be contested in this match and add/delete as necessary.


By default, the 10 NCAA standard weight classes are automatically added to the match.


Do not add exhibition bouts, only weight classes that will count towards Dual points; you can add exhibition bouts later on the Bouts screen.


Once confirmed, click Save Match to save your changes and create the new match.
