de4856 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Well I watched the Lee vs Bartlett match and apparently I thought Bartlett won, but I guess I missed something, so my apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMEBIRD Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 This is why freestyle needs OT. When knowledgeable fans don't understand which way a match went on criteria, it's a problem. Wrestle OT so there's a clear winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasmodium Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Sounds like there was a clear winner. I like these rules. People shut down offensive wrestling prior to and during most of OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pacing of tournaments are fast so wrestlers will want to take care of business as soon as possible. Shot clock, etc. also forces scoring and keeps OT from dragging on for long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhs67 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Why are people acting like this is the first time people misunderstood criteria and the scoreboard? The criteria is(was) clear, if you understand the ruling. On the mat, both wrestlers knew going in it was 'BEST-WORST-LAST' so I am not sure the rub here. Bartlett gave him all he could handle... yes... Lee still won the match, even if Bartlett's hand was raised. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinnacle Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Bartlett has gone from "Fat kid who can't beat anyone good" when he was going 149 in 2022 to NCAA 3rd in 2023 and title contender in 2024. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestleknownothing Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 By the way, I was wrong about the criteria (last score). I just looked it up and least number of cautions comes before last score. Of course, Bartlett got the caution with 3 seconds left. If I recall correctly, they took about thirty seconds to restart the match at that point (with 3 seconds left) I assume because there was a little confusion at the scorers table. And it obviously did not get fixed. If you look at the screenshot posted above, they mistakenly have the caution marker next to Lee's score, hence the confusion from the scorers table.

BAC Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Not many rule changes I'd make in freestyle, but one I'd definitely make is to add OT. If you can have a situation where the people who are closest to the sport -- the scorekeepers, coaches, refs and competitors -- don't know who won a given match, that's a problem with the rules. At MINIMUM, if there's no OT, change it to simply "last score wins" in the case of a tie, without all this weighting/ranking BS. UWW needs to fix this. We're nearing an Olympic cycle, we've already been dropped once, and the IOC has made it clear that whatchability is a central factor. If viewers can't tell who is winning or who won, they tune out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrestlingRasta Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 13 hours ago, SocraTease said: I would rather hear and talk about N. Lee than S. Lee. Tired of all the drama and rumors around the latter. We wait for a big match with him and it's all played up by social media vultures but he doesn't get out of the semis two times in a row. Nothing against S. Lee as a wrestler. But time to move on ... at least for now. No offense but, then why did you bring him up and talk about him when the conversation had nothing to do with him?
