Reconstruction · 1982 NCAA Championships
1982 team scores
The team standings fans should quote are the NCAA’s published ones. This page shows the working behind them: every program’s points recomputed from the recorded match rows, and how close that comes to the published total.
Reconstructed points against the published standings
Points are recomputed from the 1982 recorded match rows under the 1979 rules: advancement (including byes), bonus, guaranteed-place increments, and any curated adjustments. 107 of 109 programs match the published total exactly; 2 differ; 45 are not listed in the published standings.
Wrestlers from College Division, later Division II and III, programs competed at these championships but their points did not count toward the team title, so the NCAA’s published standings do not list those programs.
