Here's what I found for scoring:

TEAM SCORING
Scoring shall be as follows:
First place 10 points
Second place 7 points
Third place 4 points
Fourth place 2 points

I didn't find anything about bonus points. Anyone know if there are extra points for major/t. fall/fall?

in high school i think it was 1 pt. for a major, 1.5 for a tech. fall, and 2 for a pin. but i've been away from tournament scoring for about 10 years now so i don't know if this is correct.
 
I found this info on Wildcards:

WILDCARD PROCEDURES

The eight wildcard positions (fourth- and
fi fth-place fi nishers in the Conference championship eligible for the NCAA
championship) shall be selected by an open vote of the coaches. The vote will take place during a mandatory
meeting immediately following the consolation matches.
The following criteria will be utilized in the prescribed order when selecting wildcards to the NCAA championship:

Head-to-head competition against ranked wrestlers.
Current rankings.
End-of-the-year performance.


Other considerations include the following:
Past performance at NCAA championship and/or competition within conference.
Special situations (injuries, upset possibilities, etc.).
Strength of weight class.
Team championship possibilities.

Add in advancement points, and scoring should really be 11-8-4.5-2.5-0.

Standard bonus points apply (Fall/Forf/DQ/ID: 2; TF5: 1.5; TF4/MD: 1).
