In High School sports, the schedule shows Duel’s and Invitationals.
They all consist of matches, but what is categorically, the difference?
Been a football mom for years, this is my first real exposure with Wrestling!

@Skippy Sorry that I just saw your question today.
Deul meet is between two teams.
Invetational is a tournament of several schools.
I had the greatest wrestling mom in the world…I would be happy to help you in your journey:]
@valdasta – Thanx – As we move past the first invitational (this past saturday) Dropped him off at the wrestling room at 6:30 am ,off to location 40 minutes to other side of town- pick up same place 8:55pm – I went to the location, watched a few matches, bought some food – patted some backs, and went back home. These are long days…...
That makes a long day and even with the “lunch” I packed for him, it wasn’t enough and cash needs to go along for the concession stand.
This week, only a duel on Saturday.
Scoring is my next learning curve – take down/pin etc…the ref’s hands go up and fingers out, but there were several mats going at the same time and only 1 clock.
BTW did you ever let you mom know that fact?
Yes, made a post on Fb about my mom being the best (in light of all her sacrifices she made for me to have a happy childhood). I think it made her day.
I believe your son has picked an excellent sport. He will learn much about self-discipline, sportsmanship, mental and physical toughness, etc…
