I hope this becomes adopted by as many as possible going forward.  especially for youth

[flyingcement]

Does it feel right that a single takedown, plus a single set of back points plus a riding time point is a major decision?

Anyone able to post updated results, I don’t have BTN+ and it’s not on track.

Byrd circling Moore like a vulture

Moore loves the step over which is what Ramos used to stick Byrd in the first round of NCAAs about three or four years back

Byrd up 3-0 with about a minute of RT after the first period.  

Byrd starts down in the 2nd, flaps his wings into a standing position, Moore holds on too long and gets the stall.

Moore chips away at riding time (down to 33 in favor of Byrd) by concedes the escape.  Byrd gets his worm with another takedown with one second left in the second. 7-0 Byrd after 2 with one stall against Moore.

3rd period starts with Moore on bottom.  Byrd applies forward pressure and spiral ride, gets a bit over aggressive, and Moore slickly reverses him.  

Cartwheel by Byrd on bottom and he re-reverses.  Then allows Moore to escape.  Grabs another three for himself, shoves Moore out of bounds, and earns a stalling point.  Byrd's pushing for a tech here.  Goes for a low single, shelves it, gets around Moore's Funk.  17-4 with riding time.  Byrd proudly goes back to his nest.

The Bird ... who saw that major coming?

Good win for Byrd. Moore has regressed. Mendoza could take over his spot next year if he doesn’t RS.

It’s on track. Cheers to watching stick figures lol. Good win for Edmond there. Well dang track is only showing final results if each match. No stick figures
