For the state tourney in PA, it's a combination of Win Pct and Prestige Points. I believe the process can vary across the various district tournaments. I know the area where I grew up, PA District IV, uses Win Pct, subtracting 8pts for each match short of 10 bouts. i.e., an 8-0 record would be scored as 100-2*8 = 84. When I wrestled in the 1980s, the seeding formula favored guys who wrestled more bouts. We were given 5pts for a win, and had 3pts subtracted for each loss, with prestige points being added afterward. Not sure if any PA districts still use this type of scoring process.

For those who are interested, here is the site from where I am pulling all of this NCAA information: https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2013/10/23/division-i-wrestling.aspx * the 'Selection Process' file I shared earlier was from 2019. The link for the 2023-24 version is below. Contents are as follows: Championship Information 2023-24 Coach and Administrator Meeting Slides 2023-24 NCAA Division I Wrestling Coaches Ranking Roster 2023-24 Season Information Memo 2023-24 Qualifier Allocation Criteria 2023-24 Team Registration Link 2023-24 Championship Webinar Manuals 2023-24 Pre-championships Manual 2023-24 Host Operations Manual 2022-23 Participant Manual Links and Resources NCAA Wrestling Registered Officials Skin evaluation and participation status form Dual Championship Scoring Model Team Component Presentation Division I Men's Wrestling Selection Process Center Mat National Wrestling Coaches Association Wrestling Rules of the Game

It appears that the "magic date" has shifted since the Pre-Championships Manual was published in September. According the an update published on 2-Jan, all matches through 25-Feb count toward conference allocations. See page 2 of the linked file: https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/championships/sports/wrestling/d1/men/2023-24D1MWR_QualifierAllocationCriteria.pdf

More good stuff. This explains seeding... https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/championships/sports/wrestling/d1/men/D1MWR_SelectionsProcess.pdf

Fifteen required for an RPI (must be against D1 competition). Coaches' Rank and Win Pct will earn an allocation for the B1G, but the lack of an RPI will negatively impact someone when applying the formula for seeding criteria. Example being Brooks as a #3 last year.

I only went back to edit my post because my search resulted in this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cadet,_Junior,_and_Espoir_World_Champions_in_men's_freestyle_wrestling

EDIT: I originally quoted Haselrig's wiki page without checking. Not sure if the following is accurate, "Haselrig was the 1985 Junior Greco-Roman World Champion, and the 1986 Junior Freestyle World Champion, while competing for the United States in the heavyweight division."

I like the result. Can you explain your methodology? EDIT: Looked above and saw your explanation. Net team points generated v the field. Interesting way to look at it.

I think the question had more to do with having two Cornell guys on the list.

Where's Stanich?

Herceg is the man of the day! Bumps from 165 to 174 and gets the win. Foca helped at 184 by blowing the MAJ. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Had Enough Wrestling. Indications of burnout and/or no longer caring about collegiate success.

Yes.

Agree. I also thought they gave him a pass on the backing out of bounds in SV. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
