chambers Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Maybe I am missing something here but why would there need to be changes or redraws in the bracketson Saturday? If that is the case then why even do then ahead of time If a seeded wrestler gets hurt or sick or for whatever reason will not be there on Saturday his school can replace him in the bracket if they have another wrestler for that weight. If this happens the replaced seeded wrestler goes in at the 6th seed on the bracket regardless of what seed the original wrestler had. For example a #1 seeded wrestler breaks his leg today at practice. His team has a JV wrestler to put in his place at sectional. The replacement does not get the #1 seed. The replacement goes in at the #6 seeds place and #'s 2-6 all move up one place. If the wrestler that is being replaced is the #3 seed for example the #1 and #2 seeds stay the same and #'s 4-6 all move up one place and the replacement goes in at #6. If the wrestler being replaced was not seeded then his replacement just goes in at that same place on the bracket. If a seeded wrestler can not wrestle at the sectional and his team does not have a replacement wrestler then he is replaced with a forfeit. The forfeit does not go in the #6 seeds place as a live wrestler would. The last unseeded wrestler drawn into the bracket would move to the #6 seed and the forfeit would go to where ever the last unseeded wrestler came from.

chambers Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I should have also included that if you are seeded or placed on the bracket at the sectional seeding meeting on Monday night you can not change weightclasses. What ever weight you are when the meeting ends is the only weight you can wrestle at sectional if your name appears on the bracket. You can not move to another weightclass.

AJ Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Can you replace a FF with a wrestler? Say a kid was injured and was originally suppose to miss the entire tournament series. He has no backup so the coach puts a FF in that weight class. During sectional week the wrestler goes to the doctor for a check up and the doctor is impressed with progress and actually releases him for Saturday's competition. Could the coach then replace his FF with the wrestler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fearless fly Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Can you replace a FearlessFly with a wrestler?

Could the coach then replace his FearlessFly with the wrestler? NO. I don't have time to look up the rule right now but I am sure that every individual tournament I have been to that a FearlessFly stays a FearlessFly. I edited both of your replies so as to avoid confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 AJ, I would think a coach would put his kid in rather than have it as a forfeit if there is any chance he will wrestle. The worst case scenario is he has to take him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
