EIWA PRE-Seeds

[Jerry Callo]

Is it possible the EIWA pre-seeds are right?

https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/10665644-eiwa-pre-seeds-released

1 - they have Ungar seeded ahead of Glory

2 - Zapf ahead of YIANNI

3 - Artalona ahead of Humphreys

HUH????

[Red Blades]

That's some crazy stuff...

I'm guessing some of this get's sorted out in the final seeding meeting, althought from a Cornell perspective - I can't say it's all bad, just silly.

[Voice of the Quakers]

I'm guessing this is a points based system and that obvious errors - Yianni did beat Zapf in the dual - will be fixed.

However, I for one am happy to see some punishment for wrestlers with few matches and obvious "ducks".

Yeah, I just started looking at that.  The only thing I can think of is that some of the crazy mis-seeds are due to lack of RPI.  Glory doesn't have 15 matches at 125, nor does Yianni.  So if they have some automagic ranking system, some guys get dinged for that?

I saw Ungar ahead of Glory and I had to look further down to see if there was some other sorting algorithm in play!

Artalona 23-5

Humphries 12-0

Won’t matter in the end, but it might wear on some strategists.

When was the last time Yianni competed at 125?

[Quaker118]

Unger was beaten badly by Miller at Cornell and he lost to Sotelo. I do not see where he is a one seed.

Don't know how Humphries could be 12-0 because I distinctly remember seeing Gfeller pin him at least twice.

Well he did lose to a high school freshman, which as far as the model is concerned, is a double negative

Maybe that’s it.  G didn’t pin Artalona this year, so that’d put him ahead of Humphries.

Definitely needs to be fixed because the conference only has 2 bids at 149 and I don’t believe Eiwa is wrestling true 2nd matches , so whatever side yianni is on is a big deal to guys who need an auto bid

FYI - According to Wrestle Stat Humphreys beat Gfeller 7-6 in November.

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes...

Did you know that song was not sung by “The Eagles”?

The band’s name was just “Eagles”.

irregardless - Humphreys - 157 - Lehigh - IS undefeated this year.

Yeah but G pinned H twice first, in fact it might've been one of those elusive pin then fall combinations that Wkn likes to talk about, maybe the ref had never seen one before?

Pin?

Fall?

Pin Fall?

PINFALL.

One word to rule them all.

[TexRef]

Well rock beats scissors and I am not sure who sang a song about it.

The ref call none of em!  Have to assume he was from PA but trained with a very limited vocabulary.

My understanding (from a Gimp post on the Lehigh forum) is that those seeds held form (Zapf #1, Yianni #2). Flo Arena still shows it that way, which he updates.

I don't hate it if it reduces ducking.

I'll go one step further from not hating it: I love it

It would reduce ducking if that’s how they seeded ncaas but all this does is hurt guys at smaller schools in weight classes that don’t have many AQ spots
