WrestlingStats.Com question

[OlNo9]

Does anyone here know anything about the status of WrestlingStats.com?  I've used that site for years but the team sections (besides Lehigh) don't work.  Does anyone know who, if anyone, has control of the site?

It was created by Jairus "Jay" Hammond who passed away in 2013. I think someone from Lehigh maintains it, but not sure who.

JDA and I maintain parts of it. (JDA does the real work)

The Lehigh portion is up-to-date.

We also maintain the pdf brackets from the EIWA and NCAA.

Hey- never heard of that website, it appears that maybe https://www.wrestlestat.com may house all the Information you are looking for.

The OSU link data is there its just the query no longer works.  It quit ~year or two ago.

Ours is more historical. Was mainly geared towards Lehigh fans. Every bout wrestled since 1910 (28998). The EIWA and NCAA have all brackets. EIWA 1926-2023 and NCAA 1928-2023.

wrestlingstats is gold if you are interested in the entire history of the NCAA tournament. I have not spent much time on the team specific pages, but I have spent a stupid amount of time looking at NCAA brackets.

wrestlestat is gold if you are interested in match by match details for both the regular season and the tournament. However, that detail only extends back to 2014.

Both sites are indispensable.

and in all that "stupid time" you've never found a fictitious pinfall cause they just ain't there.

I have found other errors on wrestlingstats too. And it is still gold.

As for pinfalls, I have found them at the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Take that.

That site is awesome.   

Any reason why the format of the PDFs changes from time to time?  I work for a software company and I am going to try to put some AI on top of those PDFs…. If it works well we can get a ton of cool stuff out of it.

Pretty sure anything after Jay passed, the format differs. I believe Jay did most of it in Access. I know I've been throwing AI at the Big Ten PDFs for about a week and they just won't read the data correctly. When I convert them to read it, they'll not pull the right lines because the way the PDFs are generated are from an era where the PDF wasn't the standard format and wasn't really a native document type. Now, you can't seem to go a day without opening multiple PDFs.

Makes sense.   No worries.  Thanks for the reply.   I will keep quiet about what I’m working on until it works better

Not sure on a year by year basis but basically we grabbed pdfs from the NCAA (as it says on the site) rather than using the Access data and generating as JB says. We held out a few years more with the EIWA.

I suppose it’s too late to buy stock in Adobe?
