blueandgold Posted January 16 Posted January 16 If the NCAA Wrestling Championships were decided in a dual meet format, how would you go about having qualifiers and how would you adjust the individual championships or extend the season?

Maybe if duels mattered penn state would duel interesting teams and not just try to throw soft balls till the end of the year. Duels are better for everyone. They are better for fans because tournaments are chaos for watching your faves, nd they're better for programs because they foster rivalries and loyalty. 1 1
forkemaz Posted January 16 Posted January 16 The season should be based around duels with only a few marquee tournaments. Maybe a winter break tourney. The conferences and championship. If that's too much cut the winter tournament.

juniorvarsity Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I have heard the idea about doing Dual Championship in first semester. I am unsure of this because then what is on the schedule to maintain fan interest in January and February? Teams do not want to do very many tournaments, especially later in the season. I think you do a Dual Championship in the first two weekends of February. There is a two week break, and then conference tournaments. But how do you determine the top 16(it should be 16, so 4 duals to win it all)? It is not super simple.

He's one guy and a lot of people are involved in these decisions. However I honestly don't know the history of dual championships. Has there been one? If so, when/why did they stop? When discussions about a dual championship occur, who is in favor and who is against it? 1

Figuring out top 16 is pretty easy and just need to be sure it includes the top 4. The problem is when the top team refuses to wrestle. .

gimpeltf Posted January 16 Posted January 16 12 minutes ago, forkemaz said: I'm not trolling, the correct spelling is duel. I've posted about this before. The correct spelling for duel is duel. The correct spelling for dual is dual- as in two teams rather than a tri or a quad.

You don't go watch a team dual consisting of matches you go watch a match consisting of individual duels.

OMW Posted January 16 Posted January 16 2 minutes ago, forkemaz said: Dual is wrong. It's match. Duel us correct though. Dual is not wrong, as it is TWO teams wrestling against each other to determine the outcome of a/the match. I coach and it is listed as Dual Meet on the schedule (as it always has been). Dual tournaments are also included (I haven't seen anything on track or flow as duel meet tournaments, either. Here's an event completed earlier this month: NWCA/USMC Multi-Division National Dual Meet Championships Duel by definition isn't technically incorrect, but it is more-or-less the mouth-breather way of stating Dual Meet.
PortaJohn Posted January 16 Posted January 16 This thread is quite a duel between forke and the board. Quite a dual 1 I Don't Agree With What I Posted

I'm so glad you brought up the term "dual tournament" it barely makes sense. And it literally makes sense for what you would call an "individual tournament" in that tournament its still TWO competitors. Does NCAA even do round Robins? The term dual is dumb and redundant. The term team match is not, the term duel is also more specific. Because "match" doesn't specify the number of competitors which was just so important to you with the last definition.
