I'm fine as long as those guys are penalized in the seeding for a short season, specifically when they don't dominate during their shortened season. And Carter got the 9 seed, so he was penalized.

How is that holding Penn State accountable? They already have guidelines. Are you saying that people who don't wrestle x number of matches shouldn't even be considered for the tournament? I definitely don't agree with that.

I think he feels that Starocci being seeded 1st and defaulting basically blew up the bracket, costing Wilson a spot, not that Wilson should be in over Starocci. It's definitely a loser's lament on Manning's part.

Well there are some reliable narrators. Come on now. Let's not be blind. His ankle was broken. They didn't break any rules, but it's definitely a little morally gray.

What do you propose?

He's not wrong. PSU gamed the Suriano situation to try to minimize Picc's tournament scoring. And it worked! It comes down to "what's the important thing?" PSU coaches, is it solely their job to win, or do they bear some responsibility to "do right by the sport"? I see both side of that argument. ETA: i don't think the Starocci example is the same situation as Suriano.

Sold, we'll pay out at $180, $80, and $40.

Alright, good draft! Looking forward to the tournament, but would encourage you to consider hopping on the Zoom next year! It made for some fun discussion (and smacktalk... @jajensen09, you probably didn't want to be there. ) To address an earlier question, the payouts will be top 3 (to match the team trophies at NCAAs). My proposed payout scale is 1st Place: $180 2nd Place: $100 3rd Place: $20 (money back) But I'm open to doing 2nd place $80, 3rd place $40 if you guys think that's better.
