Probably just the way he was entered in the tournament; they didn't all get signed up at the same time.
Better question: why was Taylor allowed to wrestle seven times today?
Which is why large tournaments should wrestle to 10 places. Quarter finalists go for 5-8, earlier losers go for 9th.
We used to do that at Trenton State (later TCNJ) Central Jersey Open. Ice had me create a template for that.
In a complete 64 man bracket with full wrestle backs you can lose in the first round, or the second round, and wrestling back to 3rd means 10 bouts
if 3-4 is just the losers of semis, then 5th would be 9 bouts
if also quarter finalists go for 5-6, then 9-10 would be 8 matches.
If 40 in the bracket and Semi losers go for 3-4 and quarter losers 5-8. Then the 9th place bout could be bout 7, But at least that guy's last win would give him10th
In Meet the Fockers, Ben Stiller's character's parents proudly displayed his singlet from when he finished 9th in a wrestling tourney 18 years before. Robert DeNiro, Ben's prospective father in law Said "I didn't think they give trophies that low to which Dad Dustin Hoffman replied " right down to tenth. (Florida I guess)
