Just checking…. Are you able to use drop-down menus to see available choices for each weight? I’ll also remove choices from the list of names below as the draft progresses. This should give you visibility as your selection spot is coming up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll do whatever. Are there any other people who are even interested at this time? It’s @VakAttack contest, I’ll follow his lead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. 2019: Lost R12 to Ryan Deakon 2020: COVID (seeded #7) 2021: Rehab/Injury Year (knee) 2022: Last year was particularly heartbreaking. He beat Peyton Robb (8-5) in the R16, lost to Deakin in the QF, and hit AOC in R12. Had AOC beat with < 10s to go and had a mental lapse that resulted in AOC getting a late TD to win by 1.

Dave Kennedy, Bloomsburg 126: 1986 - Redshirt behind Rocky Bonomo 1987 - Stuck behind Rocky Bonomo 1988 (#11 seed) - R12, lost to John Epperly (Lehigh) 1989 (#7 seed) - R12, lost to John Epperly 1990 (#4 seed) - R12, lost to Adam DiSabato (Ohio State) Career record 109-28-4

I'll leave that to @VakAttack. Keep in mind that we're making 11 picks each for 15 people. 165 total picks. If we average 1min/pick (which I think is long), it would take us 2h 45m to complete the draft. Speed is the key.

@VakAttack @Perry Just added Perry to the Draft Board. All the participants are currently sorted alphabetically. I'll run a random sort to determine draft order when we meet at 9:30p tonight.

done

So that means there is a free entry sitting out there for someone...

I thought you're 2nd payment funded jajensn09?

General information: Entry Fee: $20 paid to VakAttack via Venmo At the time of this posting, there are 13 registered (paid) participants. Still two spots open to complete the field of fifteen. Contact VakAttack immediately if you are interested in registering. Draft: Thursday, March 9, 2023 @ 9:30pm EST Link to Draft Board 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 2min. 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) 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. Suggestions: 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. The Draft Board will update in real time. If you have any questions, reach out to VakAttack or lu_alum

I'll run a random sort when we join at 9:30p. Just posted the thread where we'll conduct the draft, which includes general guidelines and instructions. https://intermatforums.com/topic/1390-2023-ncaa-tournament-fantasy-competition/?do=getNewComment

Here's my take on the top four at 184: Brooks’ seed at 184 is perfectly reasonable. Let’s begin with the understanding that only the current season’s resume (documented on an ISRF) counts toward seeding (being a two-time champ doesn’t matter, with the exception of how it may influence coaches when they complete their ranking sheets). Four one-loss conference champs in the bracket. Brooks is behind #1 Keckeisen* because Keckeisen beat a common opponent (#5 Coleman) twice, while Brooks lost to the #5. Hidlay, whose only loss is to the #1 (with whom he split two bouts), is probably ahead of Brooks at the #2 due to more bouts & Brooks’ lack of RPI. #4 Munoz’ loss is a one-pointer to #13 (Pinto, Nebraska). Even without a computer, using seven weighted criteria, the top four make perfect sense & would probably have been seeded the same if the old-school seeding meeting method was honestly applied.

Message to Dean: To avoid being seeded #9, don’t lose to the #4, #5, and #8 seeds. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
