There has been a whole lot of discussion on seeding wrestlers and specifically, how it can affect the Finals. Soooo, I thought I would look at this years WSAZ results… it is only one tournament and therefore only one data point but I found it pretty interesting. I had a minor in statistics to go al...

There’s nothing to solve for this year. This years brackets are set.

Can you please put the reginal brackets on the scores like they have been for the last 14 years ? I'll give you 100 dove chocolates if you can put them on there. Anyone can go to track and print off each weights bracket then insert the subsequent pages at the end of the 106 bracket…if they want to ...

Maybe we need to wait for the next rankings to come out to see how many are really 1 vs 2.

My best guess is Childers didn’t lose head to head to Bush at B10, and has beat someone this year who Bush lost to, so they had no head to head and each had a common opponent win over each other? Neither placed at states (at least not last year). Childers top seed based on season win/loss record? I...

At a quad. Wrester A wrestles wrestler B and wrestler C. But injury forfeits against wrestler D. I’m seeding criteria for an upcoming tournament who has the seeding at said tournament A or D? Wrestler A has beat wrestler D once this season. If a wrestler begins a match and gets injured and cannot c...

According to flowwrestling webpage it begins at 1 pm

I believe the JV 126 from Huntington took 4th at WSAZ. Sort of true. He wrestled JV at 126 for WSAZ. But normally he is their starting 138 and is ranked 8th at 138 in the most recent poll. I don’t believe his team had any wrestler entered at 138 for WSAZ. No clue on the plans for him going forward ...

What do you think?

Only if Wright stays 182. Otherwise, no.

Well another year of WSAZ in the books it was exciting. Several finals came out that were a super champion for the state tournament with AA and A kids against AAA champions. First and foremost the out-of-state kids at Roselle Park, Christiansburg, Skyline, SR, etc. came to play. They had some serio...

If they are 3 of the top 5 they will wrestle out to the semis anywhere. Make a post to teach kids to run. :roll: Perhaps the post is to teach kids how to evaluate their options and chances. Very little room to qualify for the state tournament if you are a 182 in AAA Region 4. Though if you qualify ...

Yeah nothing comes up after selecting wv After you pick WV, Winners Choice Tournament will come up. Click on the first column, then go to the top left of the screen and click the icon. A drop down menu will come up and you can choose Brackets, Teams, and a couple other things. Top right corner clic...

Senior, Junior, etc.

Many of them are the same or relatively close age regardless of graduating class…

Many of them? Probably not. And no one really cares if some are…except perhaps you.

If the stuff that was allowed to go on last year is any indication, you are probably right.

Wheeling Park should also benefit with the return of Bigger Carmen who sat out last season. And a healthy Hunter Nixon, who wasn't able to wrestle all year until the regionals, where he placed first and then 3rd at the State tournament. And a healthy Brayden Lucas who missed most of the season and ...

The list I saw was:
Cabell Midland
St Albans
Buchanan Upshur
Parkersburg
Riverside
Clay County
Woodrow Wilson
George Washington
Nitro
And 3 Ohio teams

Maybe people just were not very good pinners back in the day so it happened less often. Sort of like my 9 year old daughters basketball team doesn’t score a lot of points but I don’t think that’s due to the opponent playing tremendous defense. :) My observation would be that one major factor was th...

Seed the four regional champions and use the pill that corresponds to #1 vs #4 semifinal matchup for the remaining wrestlers. Usually the rankings are close to accurate before regionals. Few vote in the rankings. Not all results are posted. If they were to ever seed hopefully it would be based on a...

McAfee only had 1 loss in AAA which was to Hurst by 2 points very early in the season. I believe he would have definitely made it to the finals. Although he is a freshman he has seen his fair share of big tournaments. My opinion is just an opinion... No ones questioning his credentials or talent. H...

Been waiting all day for those updated brackets for AA

In 126 I do believe it would have made a difference. Mcafee pinned Ford in the 1st period both times they wrestled. If you don't seed them at least have a true second match. The bottom of this bracket was ridiculous with talent. I’m not sure how 126 would have turned out if it were seeded using cri...

It’s not about a desired result It’s about being fair to these kids who have worked their butts of for years If you are fair then you get the true result And all the states around us have been seeding their state tournament for years. I’m sure they could lend sound advice if the powers that be (wvs...

If you watched the Bradbury and Barrett match it was 2-2till the end of the third period when Bradbury caught Barret and scored. Pearson dominated Barrett the entire match. Seeding matters for true results Where do they draw the line on seeding and true results? Do they seed all 16 wrestlers? On wh...

Where I think seeding would help significantly would be in getting placers right, dealing with defaults at regionals, etc. So that we dont have matches (like Hobbs and Shelek wrestling in the blood round) that prevent placement of a deserving wrestler. Or situations where rules are bent and/or igno...

Agreed. In a year where there are many weak classes, 126 sure stands out as the grinder.

I believe High School wrestling needs to adopt college rules when it comes to injury time. Non-injured wrestler will receive choice of top, bottom, or neutral after first injury time is called. Second injury time, non-injured wrestler is awarded 1 point. Third injury time, match is terminated, non-...
