How Mat Dynasty works

You run a college wrestling program. You recruit the room, plan its week, write the match plans it wrestles by and set the culture it lives in. Then the season plays out one week at a time. These pages explain each part.

• Choosing a TeamWhat sets programs apart, from training centres and scholarships to Ivies and academies, and what happens after you apply.
• Game ScheduleFifteen weeks: the dual season, the conference tournament, nationals, signing day and the portal.
• TrainingPlanning the week: drills, lifting, cardio and full practice, what each costs in staff points, and fatigue.
• RecruitingWhat a recruit wants, how interest is earned, what each action costs, and how commitments and signing work.
• Match StrategyMatch plans: situations, the dials, choosing a position, and stalling.
• CultureThe three culture axes, declaring one, how it is graded, and what fit pays.
