My 10-year old granddaughter just started wrestling and has now decided she wants to attend the Iowa State meet. Anybody got a couple available??
 
I have 2 pretty goods seats as well if anyone wants them. I usually Donate them to wrestling for life, however Jim hasn’t responded.
 
Sob-story notwithstanding...

I forget, will anyone on HR offer tickets to someone who uses this term instead of "dual"?

I think it may be more contentious than "fall" vs "pinfall" but less contentious than "state" vs "states."
Dude, you have to stop with this crap. nobody cares about this garbage in season. We get it, you are an intellectualite.

I was going to ignore this, but....

"Pinfall" is a contrivance. "State" vs. "states" is a regionalism discussion.

I've not seen or heard any discussion regarding "dual" vs. "meet" probably because the proper full term for a wrestling competition involving two teams is "dual meet." That's as opposed to a "triangular meet" or a "quad meet" involving three or four teams respectively. Each one of those is correctly a "meet." "Dual," "triangular," or "quad" simply describe the type.

Competitions involving more than 4 teams are usually called team "tournaments" or "tourneys." If competitors from any number of teams can compete, then those competitions are usually called "opens."

Of course, there are also invitationals, classics, rumbles, donnybrooks, worlds, olympics, throwdowns, battles...and my all-time favorite, simply "Fargo."

There may be more.

You're welcome. 😁

Thank you.

However, folks like me and @AFHawk86 will probably stick with the pinfall designation. A dominant performance needs a bigger descriptor and I think wrestling’s founding fathers knew this instinctively.
