National Duals Matchups

[Powershouse]

I love that there will be prize money for the team with the fastest td’s each round. They will add up the time of the 5 fastest takedowns for each team and the lowest number gets the for that round.

Who gets the prize money and what do they do with it?

Each team gets $20K for participating. Teams get prize money for placement and the TD prize goes to the winning team each round.

Thanks, but I was wanting to know who's bank account that money ends up in. The Athletic departments of the schools? College scholarship funds? Etc.

I'd guess wrestling budgets.  Thus allowing them to buy new mats/stuff, travel to a tournament not previously able, order Jimmy John's after practice,  etc.

I thought the money was going to be NIL, which presumably goes to the athletes bank accounts.  I suppose it is up to each schools how they want to distribute the funds (do the main starters get a larger share than someone who wrestled one match or does it split evenly).

I wish Flo would have a true QuadBox for this event; sounds like it's going to be 4 individual mat streams and then a Shane Sparks led jump around.  I think I'll keep the Shane jump around on the main screen and have a specific match on an iPad if I want a specific matchup.

Faux outrage on a Facebook message board about how Lehigh should drop out and let Rutgers in, combined with talk of how avoiding early high ranking matchups will doom the event.

Tell me you don't understand how scheduling works!

If anyone should get in (not happening) it should be Iowa State not Rutgers.

Iowa State was also mentioned, but the forum is run by a guy who claims to be a Rutgers fan.  "Dresser would send his best lineup!" (but also ignoring that Dresser had an injured team last year, which is the case for Lehigh this year)

Anyone else feeling Larkin over McNeil rd.1? 

[Mr. PeanutButter]

For the takedown cash bonus, can all 5 takedowns come from the same 1 or 2 wrestlers per team or are they taking the 5 fastest takedowns from 5 different wrestlers per team?

The former favors the biggest mismatch (and the higher ranked teams) whereas the latter seems more fair

Hopefully the name and the date can evolve.  a little less is better than none at all
