bellrs Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Will you run round robin brackets for smaller ones? If so, what is the number cutoff for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratemom19 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 When it comes to events done on trackwrestling most people wait until the last minute to sign up and watch who goes where, and make weight according to whom they want to wrestle/want to ditch. Hard to make a "stud list" when one doesn't know who is going until the last minute. And it isn't a "highschool" event, it is AAU/ISWA wrestling so beyond insurance purposes it is not school affiliated in the least other than where the kid wrestles out of...which can be through a school OR club. We can't wait....my boy is super pumped for this coming weekend for sure. I'm surprised not as many people are signed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have missed the IndianaMat Hoosier Preseason Open then as we had a stud list over a month out and had 200 entries two weeks out and over 300 a week out.

piratemom19 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 We did miss it because we can't afford to go to everything...we pick and choose. I think the "stud lists" are a little unnecessary when the only ones ever mentioned are those who go to everything. Sometimes there are dark horses that only go to few events and they wind up surprising everyone. It's all good though, there were only maybe two kids per weight class when the person asked which is why I said hard to perdict when you didn't even know who was coming yet...may have been a little different with the other one, I don't really know, but trying to make people feel stupid like they are out of touch is a little rude (especially for an administrator) but thanks for putting me in my place : ) You must have missed the IndianaMat Hoosier Preseason Open then as we had a stud list over a month out and had 200 entries two weeks out and over 300 a week out.

If you peruse the stud list for the IHPO you will see wrestlers from at least seven states. By no means is it necessary, but in promotion of the tournament it was an easy way to show how tough it was. Actually the stud list page garnered over 12,000 views so quite a few people were checking it. So yes it was a "little" different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestleMan Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The "stud list" was a great way to illustrate just how difficult the competition was going to be at the IHPO. In my opinion, by being able to see very easily that there were "studs" attending the tournament it encouraged more "studs" to attend. I know from experience you don't want to devote a long drive and a full day in a gym to a tournament that isn't going to offer quality competition. I think the "stud list" is a big reason why the IHPO has grown so quickly into such a great tournament. You get quality kids from all over the midwest coming to wrestle other quality kids.

Fabio Jr. Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 We will be doing round robins. 3 would be the minimum I believe. I have to talk to my TD to see if we would have a best of 3 for weights of 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabio Jr. Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 It will be in a Scramble Format. Pools to brackets. This will allow all wrestlers to get the maximum amount of matches. No double elimination. Placement Rounds will be by weight class on all mats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.Schjoll Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Great tournament, great officials. Awesome job Brownsburg and Mark Durham. I would also like to thank the father in the crowd that came on the mat to check on my son, my son was not wrestling his son but he was a Dr. and saw a kid collapse on the mat and came to check on him. I would also like to thank the Brownsburg mom who came to check on him as she was a Nurse. Wrestling usually gets a bad rap with (wrestling parents) but these two people prove just how great wrestling people truly are. Thanks to the announcer who stopped us on the way out and asked my sons name so he could pray for him. I can go on and on with the positives but I am done. My son is doing great at home no effects of the incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
