That's a strong statement sayings it's wildly more competitive. Its hard to strongly argue against since there is a lot of variation in results. My perspective, the rules level the playing field artificially, making upset wins much easier to pull off with forced par terre and passivity. It feels like the format itself introduces randomness that makes it tough for consistency. How do you not want to point to the refs half the time your kids lose a close match? Neither sport has a comfort zone. Not sure I'd say freestyle can be "gamed" in comparison to Greco. Greco is highly technical but less dynamic. You often leave the match knowing who the better wrestler is and don't feel like the ref gave it to the other guy. It happens in freestyle, but more so about how the points were awarded versus shot clocks.

What?

Double Elimination: 60 matches for 32 man bracket Single Elimination Repechage: 37 matches for 32 man bracket(had to ask AI on this one) Allowing two per nation and double elimination would turn into a 3 day tournament. Worlds between 3 styles is already a week long. I don't think it will ever happen. NCAAs only does two matches per day on 8 mats. UWW is not going to do a giant and empty arena. I would guess these are the factors preventing at least double elimination.

Can't speak too much on Greco, but from minimal watching, I have sensed that the variation in medalists in Greco seema high. I notice returning gold medalists losing at worlds and it feels like I don't consistently see returning gold medalists repeat. Versus freestyle, it feels more consistent. What do you think? This is coming from someone who literally only watches semis and medal matchs at Worlds for Greco.

Which team will do better?

Would you mind telling me about the reason you call it th Schultz rule?

This was approved as a new revenue stream specifically to help schools fund/offset the cost of the revenue share. It is my understanding that it is institutional money, so it goes straight to the athletic department. It is fair to think of it as going mostly to football because most of the rev share is already going to football.

It is easier to Google it than search the site. Most sites don't have this much of a problem with search. Hsut for fun, go search recruiting class rankings. You will get like 8 results and the newest one that shows up is 2021. And it's super hard to find what you want if trying to watch replays on your TV. I just get my phone out, find the video and play it for a second, then reload Flo on my TV, and go to my recently viewed section to get the videos I want. Searching within an event works well. Or searching for matches in the app is pretty good. Its usually chronological if you search a wrestlers full name.

I don't think this is a final decision because NCAA can appeal. But who knows. Curious to see who would forego that extra year.

I corrected myself and said Trackwrestling did it in one of my first replies to you. There's those two that ever offered all the things we all know they do inside one platform. That's a fact. They copied each other, but they started from completely different places. Track copied Flo with Trackcast. Flo copied Track with Arena. Satisfied?

You're the one who went on and on because I said, "do I really need to explain myself?" I'm not trying to fight with you. You tend disagree with people over minor things often. I do like flo and find it useful. I understand how media rights for college conferences are bundled into networks. Flo cannot get that stuff anymore. That's why I pay for ESPN+ and BTN+. I know there's USA bracketing and track is easier to look at. Like what are you even saying? Did I not define what Flowrestling is good enough for you? Do I really have to explain to a hardcore wrestling fan what Flo is and offers? Chill

It doesn't need explaining because it is so obvious. You're a wrestling fan. You know these things. There's no other Flo. There's other places that do one or two of those things I listed, but nobody does them all. Which is obvious and it shouldn't require explaining to a wrestling fan. You said it for me. There's a hidge podge if other places to get one or two if the things I listed. Not all of what I listed. Who is bidding against Flo to stream Fargo, Ironman, USAW, and UWW events? Please let me know who else I should be paying instead of Flo and I'll do it.

You're putting words in my mouth. Who else is buying media rights for wrestling events, putting events at all levels on their platform, writing weekly articles, weekly videos, building bracketing software with video tied in, ranking every level of the sport? It's a one stop shop. I conceded that Trackwrestling did the same thing, so I was wrong. Please, nitpick what I just said so you can argue with me about it.

I agree. The duration of the delay seems excessive for a infection. But the Procedures do not and probably would not be able to address the severity of the injury when they state the time period allowed for the delay. I don't know the specific date but, per the procedures - "Wrestle-offs must occur before the departure for the 2026 World Team Acclimation Camp"(2026 World Team Trials Qualification & Procedures Men’s Freestyle). Not sure when the Acclimation Camp is, but given Worlds is in late October/early November, Woods still has plenty of time. It has been six weeks since Final X.

I followed the story but didn't know he hit a minor, but most kids in high school are under 18. To him, it's just another kid in with middle of the chaos. From what I gathered from afar, he ran into the ruckus that his dad was in like most people would. I don't see an issue. I never heard about him badly hurting someone. Are you coming at this from the perspective of past issues with Knox, or are you looking at this lone situation for what it is? I'm not from NJ, so I don't really understand why he has the bad boy persona.

Trackwrestling tried, so I will correct myself there.

57 kg: Luke Lilledahl - 2nd at Final X 61 kg: Ben Davino - 2nd at WTT, forfeited to Desanto for true third 65 kg: Bo Bassett - Final X tbd 70 kg: Jordan Williams - 3rd at US Open, 4th at WTT, U23 Nationals Champ 74 kg: Jayden James - 2nd at WTT 79 kg: Matty Singleton - U23 Nationals Champ, 7th at US Open 86 kg: Aeoden Sinclair - 3rd at US Open 92 kg: Seth Shumate - 3rd at US Open 97 kg: Justin Rademacher - 4th at US Open 125 kg: Cobe Merrill - 3rd at WTT, 6th at US Open(FF semis down)

Do I really need to explain myself here?

Qualifying the spot for the Olympics is changing. So our reps needs to be set so that we can send them to the events. I think that's the thought behind the earlier process. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Total Olympic Quotas Per Weight Class: 16 ├── Phase 1: 2027 World Championships ---> 4 Quotas ├── Phase 2: UWW World Rankings ---> 3 Quotas ├── Phase 3: Continental Qualifiers ---> 8 Quotas (2 per region) └── Phase 4: World Olympic Qualifier ---> 1 Quota

I watch every FRL. I enjoy it. I like wrestling. To my knowledge, nobody else has ever tried to do what they are doing. I can't really get a pulse on the issue people have with them. They used to fuck up streams a lot 5+ years ago. Did their articles used to be better? I think they did, or at least I'm not as interested in them like I used to. I mainly pay for their live events and checking various rankings, and it's worth the cost. THE PRICE HASNT CHANGED FOR A DECADE!

I'm too young to know about much about this, but there was a stretch in the late 70s, early 80s where Iowa and Iowa State were #1 and #2 at NCAAs. I'm sure there were some years where those duals were amazing. Some older guys might be able to say more about this.

The lawyer letter mentioned that AJ was assaulted by the pregnant girl. She hasn't gotten charged with anything. Of course, I have no idea how these legal things work. Is that just his angle for defense or are they trying to charge her?

I think the duration of the delay is bullshit. It was an infection. It has been 6 weeks and still no announced date It's hard to put guardrails around the situation of delays. And nobody has pulled out for an infection before. He gets the time allotted in the bylaws.

What club is paying senior Greco guys? Also, Spey said on FRL that the greco program at NMU is likely just being relocated. Any clues where it will go?

Congrats on their success. I know one of them made the team.
