Inconsistent officiating is a bane on American freestyle.   How no one went on the clock in the second period is beyond my understanding.

[Truzzcat]

Cowboy RTC puts Forrest,Mckenna,Hamiti,Valencia,Hendrickson in the finals

NLWC puts Lilledahl,Messenbrink,Dake,Snyder

They only hit head to head at 86kg so it is possible that these two RTC's hold 8 of the first 12 (spencer and vito already there) spots in final X

Sinclair in the finals at 92kg? That's interesting. Excellent wrestler but big overachievement compared to college season.

Just watched match.  Score board people had big issues.  Lots of confusion  with a ton of time to get it figured out.  Had Zilmer with criteria.  Now Thomas being shown with criteria 6-6 with 40 sec left.  Went a while with Zilmer thinking he was winning.  

Zilmer gets body lock - he had been getting in this position earlier.  Tries throw but literally falls on own back and bounces.  Thomas NEVER close to exposing.   Time ends.

2 pt correct throw awarded!!! And confirmed!!!  For Zilmer!!!  But thank freaking god Thomas team throws brick and it is overturned.  Thomas wins.

WORST FREAKING RULE IN WRESTLING … correct throw.  Glad it didn’t screw Thomas here.

Can you explain the "correct throw" thing? I'm still learning some of the freestyle intricacies.

Gilman in the corner for Blaze, but why is he miming the pin call loll

Someone likely can do a better job …. 
 

If wrestler A attempts a throw and lifts the other wrestler, but the throw doesn’t work as intended and the other wrestler does not land in danger or otherwise no criteria is reached that would earn points for wrestler A, the ref can say hey … wrestler A tried, good for him.  2 pts!  
 

Ridiculous.  You can tell by my description that I’m biased against it.

Correct throws are garbage. They are literally participation points and should come with some orange slices when awarded.

When Gilman got hit with a “correct throw” by Abakarov at Worlds in 2022, I was stunned that it was a thing. I continue to be stunned that it is a thing.

It was not danger, it was not control. And it likely changed the match by requiring a shift in tactics for Gilman.

Same thought on Knox st 57 KG

[Truzzcat]

is vega not wrestling i cant find him in the bracket

[Lleynor]

When does Senior FS finals start?

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Yuck. Real Woods was destroying Bart Simpson but decided to get cute with under hooks and nearly lost 9-8. Very unsatisfying to watch though I love seeing Beau-ring lose

[Truzzcat]

Carter young is a confusing individual. He looks so freaking good when he wrestles freestyle.

[BigRedFan]

DeSanto took a nasty smack to the head. Getting a bunch of time to recover.  Stream of Mat 2 is stuck on a loop.

[Dark Energy]

A Valencia clutch AGAIN vs Real Woods.  Takes the third.

I've looked around and have found no answers.  There is no footage of the match on Flo

[Scouts Honor]

perhaps not.  how can someone be DQ'd for a non-match event?  missing weigh-ins or something?

I'd assume that would be similar to DeShazer and they have him as FF for his two matches he didn't wrestle today.  The mystery continues..
