Except for that time Vito beat Fix in 2015 at Super 32s in folk. https://www.flowrestling.org/video/5548659-126-3rd-place-daton-fix-charles-page-vs-vito-arujau-syosset

100%. Schadenfreude is a distraction from one's own misery.

Keep the current margin. Yes.

Brands got that riding time and then picked down. Neutral was in my mind. Great first period from his feet and protect the riding time point.

Was he more or less injured in this tournament as compared to earlier in the season.

Counter point. Top man automatically scores one point anytime he has 1 minute of riding time more than bottom man. Then, riding time resets to 0 and the riding time score opportunity begins again. Explore what to do next. Perhaps if no back points were awarded during this riding time, reset the match in neutral. Or make it interesting and restart the match with bottom man now on top. Drama.

It is fine to increase TDs and reversals by a point to give stronger credit rather than 'penalizing' the escape by making it zero points. Reversals and TDs should have equal points rather than TDs getting more. Keep the complexity out of scoring. There must be zero consideration for situational points based on whether the top man freely lets bottom man loose versus bottom man earns his way.

He is a many trick pony that is less than 100% with sustained excellence as a junior world champion, national champion, that has destroyed other national champions. His response to the loss is worse than the loss with respect to 'great.' I expect world-level results if he get those knees strong and moves over to PSU for next-level mental coaching. His 'one trick' was soo good he rarely needed to show other tricks. What move did he pin Ramos in?

General Lewis does not approve.

I chuckled at the headline of this post, assuming that JChapman was taking a page out of JimmyBuns' playbook. But hold on to your Gables, folks - as it turns out, Lee isn't the commendable sportsman we thought he was. He has the mind of a world champion to wrestle for Glory when not at this best, yet lacks the mud to break past disappointment and take the 'next best thing' by storm. Fix the identify crisis, wrestle loose, and go get a WC next.

Increase points for repeated TDs instead of decreasing them if complex scoring is preferred.

His second loss.

Yianni has wrestled without confidence. He looks great against Sasso but does not deserve OW this weekend. Carr, Ramos, Vito, Nino, Haines, Parris in that order if they win.

Did anyone in the gym besides the AF crew think that picking down was better than neutral there? Do they know who was wrestling? Did they watch the first and more importantly the second period?

Why pick down?

It was gross.

Murin took away Diakomihalis' balls. Have some nuts!

Both shoulders down for almost exactly 500ms. https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/394122-Any-way-to-show-milliseconds-in-Youtube

Andonian was pinned for the briefest of time. I had to rewind and replay several times to catch the millisecond both shoulders were down.

Lots of touch falls and never touched falls

Zero points for an escape regardless of how hard the bottom man works for it.

Copy what works for other styles and keep what makes folk style unique (mat wrestling). Win. Win.

It is not okay to back away out of bounds. It is worse to jump out of bounds. It is disgusting to back straight out of bounds from the center mat on your own accord. It is not okay to drive people out of bounds or to cut off the person circling back in. The defender must attempt to circle back in. I'm good to give out points to opponent of the instigator in each of those situations.

The bottom man's reward for getting back to his feet is being on his feet. The bonus is preventing the top man from scoring control points

Diakomihalis secured three takedowns and Murin secured/gifted four escapes to make the score 6-4 after two periods. Diakomihalis tacked on a reversal in the third to make it 8-4. Murin earns his fifth escape and secured one takedown. Diakomihalis won 8 to 7. A fairer score is 8 to 2. If there were zero points for escapes, the Rooks versus Van Ness match goes differently. Rooks would be leading 6 to 0 at the beginning of the third period rather than 7 to 3. The final score would be Rooks victory or overtime rather than a 9 to 7 Van Ness victory. Fix this.
