Joziah Fry just bonused his way to a second D3 national title at 125. Fry's only loss during his two consecutive championship seasons is Luke Stanich from Lehigh.

Zoom meeting info sent to the participants via DM. Had to sent as two messages, as the forum only allows me to send to ten recipients at a time. @Antitroll2828 @flyingcement @Gage @Idaho @jajensen09 @JVStateChamp @MizzouFan01 @MPhillips @nhs67 @Perry @RockLobster @steamboat_charlie @Truzzcat @VakAttack cc: @goheels1812

No finalists.

That was perhaps the deepest class ever. However, Metcalf was the clear front-runner that year.

Bucknell has some very wealthy fans - the kind that bring programs back from the dead… https://www.sungazette.com/sports/local-sports/2018/12/grahams-goal-comes-to-fruition-as-bucknell-wrestling-sells-out-sojka/ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

General information Entry Fee: $20 paid to VakAttack via Venmo The field has been confirmed as follows: Draft: Sunday, March 17, 2023 @ 1:00pm EDT (last year's draft lasted ~2-1/2 hours) Link to Draft Board (I recommend you bookmark this link, as I will make scoring updates after each session in this file) Once everyone is logged into the draft, I’ll randomly sort the participant list to determine draft order. Draft picks will be made in this thread, facilitated by VakAttack (i.e., he’ll prompt you to pick if you’re running slow.) I will log the pick on the Draft Board as it is made. Time to make your selection will be loosely policed at 1 minute. The selection process will take place in a reversing-snake pattern. i.e., the selection order works as follows: Round 1: 1 through 15 Round 2: 15 through 1 Note: #1 and #15 will make two consecutive picks as the order reverses itself round-to-round Each participant selects a wrestler for each weight class (125-285), plus one ‘Wild Card’. The ‘Wild Card’ can be selected any time during the draft process. The penalty for excessive lateness during a selection will result in the pick being skipped for that round, and that pick moved to the end of draft. (VakAttack’s discretion). Withdrawal/Replacement Policy (a.k.a., the "Jerry Callo / Connor McGonagle Rule"): Keep in mind you are picking a wrestler, not a bracket position. If your selection does not make weight, fails skin check, or pulls a Suriano... you are stuck with that guy. If your selection withdrawals from the tournament prior to 5pm EDT on Wednesday, you can make a replacement pick. You need to let @VakAttack and @lu_alum know the name of your replacement pick prior to weigh-ins on the first day of the tournament (Thursday, 10am EDT). Zoom We're setting Zoom up on a trial basis this year, with the thought it may help to move picks along more quickly if folks aren't frequently refreshing their forum chat browser. Zoom is completely optional - official picks will be made/posted in this forum chat thread. If you want to connect via Zoom, send me @lu_alum a PM with your email address & I'll send the link. Scoring All eleven selections (125-285, plus WC) count toward the participants summary score. Scoring will be downloaded from TrackWrestling (data provided using My Wrestlers) at the end of each round and updated/published on the same Google Sheet used for the Draft. I recommend that you create a list with your wrestlers on Track to double check my math. Payout I believe we paid top the top three last year. VakAttack runs the money side of this operation. Suggestions I highly recommend that you open two browser windows. One to monitor this selection thread and make picks; the other to monitor the draft board (follow the selection order & see who is still available on the Draft Board). NOTE: You will need to refresh the thread frequently to keep up with selections being made and avoid missing your turn due to a time penalty. If you weren't already aware, the F5 key will do this. The Draft Board will update in real time.

(a little sarcasm here)... Maybe they used their discretion to put three banged-up returning champions on the same side of the bracket. Let the best man survive and meet the best healthy guy from the bottom in the final?

I do get it. It is a mathematical formula, with some latitude to make adjustments within numerical groupings. But even the subjective aspect of the seeding process has guidelines, several of which he doesn't present favorably. He's not a conference champion He's 3-2 in his last five bouts He had two INJ DEF losses. The B1G tourney brought his availability into question.

Most anticipated potential matches at NCAA’s?

That type of bracket manipulation is precisely why the “Schlatter Rule” was created. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
