Melvin Douglas. No question! World Champ.

There is still no excuse, but Yianni was trailing by 1 (if I remember) and wanted to know if he needed 1 or 2. He wanted to know what criteria would look like if he tied it. To my knowledge that isn't on the scoreboard, but a coach should know.

They need to do something.

I wrestled on one of those in a tourney semi my senior year of high school!

Has Lee given any?

Thanks. I believe criteria is best best remembered as 1. Most; 2. Least; 3. Last. It is not hard when you remember it that way. From the rulebook: If the point total is equal at the end of a match, the following criteria will determine the winner, in this order: 1. Highest value scoring actions (most 5 point actions, most 4 point actions, most 2 point actions) 2. Least number of accrued cautions 3. Last point scored Yianni matches can get crazy at times, which is all the more reason to have one guy in the corner keep track. Not too hard. Just have a notepad. (And as far as NFL: The stuff going on with NFL sidelines with down, distance, substitution packages, injury, clock, etc. dwarfs anything that happens in a wrestling match)

I think he started as a Greco guy, maybe in age level stuff. Also heard something like: the Greco weights are more to his liking.

Remember, part of his "NLWC resurgence" was to let himself get heavy in the offseason. Also wrestled overseas at 61kg in his most recent tourney. Somewhat disastrously, I may add. (Supposedly has considered going 61 full time) Still the pundits picking him talked about "how great he looked this year." Not sure what they were talking about. P.S. Not to mention reports coming out of the OTC that he has recently refused to go par terre with a high school aged Greco kid!

It is absolutely the job of someone in the corner. Someone needs to know the situation. The failure to plan for stuff like this gets you fired in sports like the NFL. Coaches need to be more accountable. These are professional coaches and professional athletes.

It did cross my mind. Pretty sure Cael, Casey, someone would have an idea of the criteria situation. (Especially after the scoring FUBAR at the Bartlett-Lee match last month. I guarantee that NLWC made some sort of adjustment in their cornering so that one guy is always aware of scoring situations etc.)

Why does it seem as drama has been following J'Den for the last four years or so?

I was super surprised that Mike Grey had no clue as to what Yianni needed to do to win match one. Yianni was asking him about criteria and Grey had no answer for him. Unforgiveable.

You may have made a mistake. I like PA wrestlers just fine. Some of my favorite wrestlers are from PA. It is PSU that I don't like (and I actually found myself rooting for 3.5 ex-PSU wrestlers this weekend)

I didn't bring up womp rats, because I thought there was no chance anyone else would get it! I'm not the only nerd here!

Honestly, I have had very few issues (not zero) streaming events with Flo over the years. I have more with Amazon Prime. Daisy Jones and the Six crashed on me after the title sequence several times!

Exactly. Keep stuff as simple as possible. I know we are not going to be a major sport anytime soon, but there are people who will watch the sport 1-2x a year and enjoy it. Lets not complicate stuff for those "casuals."

This is more about sitting on an ankle and doing nothing, I believe.

This seems to happen more for Nicky Forfeits than the average wrestler!

The pride of Olean, NY... along with PSU great Jeff Prescott.

Perhaps a bit! Thanks, sir!

I never doubted you, just stating what I heard yesterday.
