Call It The Dresser Dump

[Wrestleknownothing]

I was looking at the new Selection Criteria Grid for this season and I noticed this addition:

Eligible Matches

Only results from nontraditional events that are registered in the NWCA Optimal Performance Calculator (OPC) system by September 1, and contested before January 1 of the respective academic year, shall be considered for selection and seeding for the Division I Wrestling Championships.

Additional Comments

This modification clarifies that the committee will not consider results from nontraditional matches that have become more common later in the season. This is consistent with the value the committee places on traditional formats, (dual meets, individual/dual advancement tournaments), and conference tournament participation to meet the selection criteria.

Does this count “extra matches”?

Iowa State created a tournament at the end of the season I thought that was for the benefit of inflating match counts for those in need.  If it's extra matches in question, that's not it, but that's what I thought was being alluded to.

Ok reading it closer I think you’re right.  But it says that a tournament is a “traditional match,” so seems like Last Chance Open is still legal?

tl;dr Last Chance = good for world team, fargo, etc. but bad for NCAAs

not oversimplifying in the slightest
