It is formulaic and based on a combination of win%, RPI, and coaches' rank compared to everyone else in the at-large pool. At 12-2, with no RPI (need 15 matches for that), and a very high coaches' rank, he will certainly get an at-large spot.

AQ is for the conference champ. He would need to qualify for an at-large spot if he defaults at the conference tournie.

seems to be saying he is a go

The Need For Chaos

You can guess while I quote.

None have been in order. There is a five way tie for the closest. 2013 - 133 above is an example of one of the five. The absolute difference between seeds and places was 6.

Re-read my post. I already addressed this.

Read the very first post in this thread.

Exactly

See the bolded part above

That is not what they cited. They said he was disqualified for interfering with another swimmer. That part of the rule reads: "Any competitor who interferes with another swimmer during a race shall be disqualified from that race, subject to the discretion of the referee." If ever there was a time for discretion it was then.

Complete List: 1988 - 150 1991 - 118 1992 - 158 1993 - 177 1998 - 134 1998 - 167 2000 - 149 2004 - 133 2006 - 149 2008 - 285 2011 - 174 2013 - 133 2014 - 174

It has happened twice in recent years. But I only looked back to 2010.

Yes

You recall correctly.

I am embarassed for swimming.

Checking the results page (https://arena.uww.org/weight-category/1eebc07c-3a32-6bf0-8a63-dd02aceb3ba6) Gomez won 10-0 and moves on to face Lee. Lachlan McNeil won 10-0 and moves on to face Kramer

Stream is experiencing technical difficulties. But for the few seconds they showed, Gomez was up 6-0 in the first 30 seconds of his qualifying round.

10, 2, 3 is the highest seeds the 7 could beat on the way to the final. That happened 6 of 13 times. There was also a UR, 2, 3 combo. So beating 2 and 3 happened 7 of 13 times. But just beating 2 with any other combination happened 12 of 13 times. That makes sense since in the 12 seed era (10 of the 13 years) the 2 would get UR, UR before meeting the 7. In the 16 seed era (2 of the years) it was UR, 15. And last year it was 31, 15.

Sadly, I do not have much ranking data. All I have is the last two years or so. But I will guess this hasn't happened in recent history because Glazier was not a known entity (a rarity for an Iowa wrestler) and suffers from an anchoring problem. He started off unranked. And given the way the rankings work, you have to beat someone higher to move up, but are generally not penalized for losing to someone higher. So Glazier is limited in his ability to move up, but if he started as the #2 wrestler and only lost to Brooks, he would not fall far, if at all. Where you start matters. The exact same record can result in very different rankings based on starting points.

Done about what?

Said he is focusing on coaching.

His win % was also below 72 which wound up being the cutoff.

Deserves? No one, but they had 4 guys ranked in the top 33 and got three allocations.

Crook did not have an RPI, Fongaro and Hamden did.
