Muckman_1999 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Does anyone know if they seed the particpants or is it just a blind draw? It seems as if they separated out the top ranked kids in the brackets and then guessed on the rest. is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FANMAN Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Last year it appeared they separated the top 4-6 in each weight then blind draw the rest, normally has been a complete draw, but thankfully they did something for the good of it an hope it continues.

I like the complete blind draw....makes interesting when some of the studs meet up in the first or second round...as far as brackets...I bet nobody sees them until the morning of....and they are sure to change with 32 teams there and wrestlers out for injury, sickness, miss weight, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FANMAN Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Toughest weight class? I think it will be 138 when adding in McCoy from Franklin County, undefeated an Jeff Classic winner and Cody Handley from Northeastern, undefeated an winner at ECIC defeating ranked Blanton.

Having rankings provides the structure necessary to allow upsets when feasible. With that said, there is no reason to ever provide the opportunity for the best two wrestlers in a weight class to randomly draw each other in the first round of a tournament. I do enjoy watching a lower ranked wrestler upset another, but a #1 should never have the opportunity to remove a #2's chances at at achieving his rightful place in the first round. Take it or leave it, but that is my mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
