What does this mean?

This may be obvious to some, but I see this sometimes on wrestling tournament schedules and flyers and I can't figure out what it means:

*Championship Rat-tails (2,3,3.5,4)
*If more than 32 in weight class
First Round (2,3,3.5,4)
*Consolation Rat-Tails (1,2,2.5,3)
*If more than 32 in weight class
Second Round (2,3,3.5,4) & First Consolation (1,2,2.5,3)
Second Consolation (1,2,2.5,3)

What do the numbers in ( ) after each round refer to?

Thanks!
 
 
The numbers are the points you get for winning. The Championship rattail would be:
2 decision
3 major decision
3.5 Tech fall
4 Fall
In a tournament for the Championship rd you usually get 2 points for advancing. The bonus points are 1 for a major dec, 1.5 for a tech fall and 2 for a pin. Thus getting the numbers above. In the consolation rd you only get one point for advancing.
Hope that makes sense
