I looked it up ... a wrestler must win/survive at least one duel match.

I am not challenging what you learned. However, there is obviously more to the requirements than that.
I would have taken upon myself that if a wrestler wrestled 1+ matches, he would letter.
The word on the street is he must win a wrestle off along with wrestling those varsity matches.
For example, if Hank Gates does NOT win a wrestle off, but wrestles 3, 4, 5+ varsity matches because the varsity wrestler is injured, Hank still would not letter because Hank didn't win the wrestle off.
Perhaps somebody can clarify.
