Dog on bone

Best I have seen D'Emilio look

Van Ness on the head bouncing it. Looking to wear D'Emilio down. Austin Gomez talked about that with Bader.

Yep. He got out wrestled and out strategized.

How did Bouzakis not finish there?

Davis never learns

Huh. No near fall? He was clearly holding two near fall.

Bouzakis looking STRONG

Paging @MPhillips

Yeah, the right thing to do would have been to post the criteria when I referenced them. Here you go: Bad losses (Under .500% win percentage). Outside the top 30 Coaches Rank and/or top 30 RPI. Conference champion. (I assume this refers to regular season, as the conference tournament champ gets the AQ) Performance in last five matches (including conference tournament). Number of injury default or medical forfeit wins/losses. Best quality win. Wrestler availability (Injured or medically unable to compete). I assume that last one was meant to address the Suriano situation. Last year they obviously felt that Starocci/Sanderson was telling the truth when he said he could go.

If it's anyone, it's me.

@gimpeltf do you know what the rationale was for 33?

Why do you hate me?

Will they qualify regardless? Crookham and O'Toole might not even be able to wrestle. And there was question that Teemer could too. As for common sense, in 2023 year they added a number of subjective considerations to address these kinds of situations for at large selections.

Rankings are subject even though they claim not to be. And choosing one would be problematic. They often differ in important ways. And taking an average of many has problems too. How do you deal with a situation where one ranking has a wrestler included and another does not, like we saw with Teemer at various points? The nice things about the rules based method is it becomes clear what a wrestler needs to do to qualify or earn an allocation. The same cannot be said about rankings.

I am beginning to doubt that

He only has 14 matches. You need 15 for RPI.

I forget how the police blotter works. Can you refresh my memory?

Sorry, no. The formatting makes it a huge pan in the ass.

RPI List is out too: https://www.ncaa.com/_flysystem/public-s3/files/1st RPI[39].pdf

I, too, know nothing. I am just going off what I read. Two things. In what I posted in the other thread they state that the non-traditional event must be completed by Jan. 1. That made me think it was about Last Chance Opens. Then Corbey got me doubting that until I found this: https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/championships/sports/wrestling/d1/men/May2024D1MWR_AnnualReport.pdf In the annual report they give some background on the reason for the change that makes it seem even more like they were targeting Last Chance Opens. "(4) Estimated budget impact. Eliminating the need to send wrestlers to late-season tournaments not scheduled or budgeted for at the start of the season will result in cost reductions for institutions."
