hook and half Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 One legal tactic, when a case is being lost, is to intentionally affect a mistrial. The reset button gets pushed and a new trial begins. Is this what happened in Merrellville? Someone did not like the draw and released the brackets knowing that it would affect a redraw? Maybe, maybe not. Prove me wrong. This is the problem. Does the IHSAA have codified rules in place stating that if brackets are released early, that they will be redrawn? If so, they need to come forward and show their policy. That will put this to bed. Otherwise, I recommend that you get a copy of the draw and see whether or not it is favorable to your team. If it is not, circulate the draws, affecting a new one. Wash, rinse, repeat. This stinks to high heaven. Chi Town Hustler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
800lbs Gorilla Mama Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I agree! This stinks of a coach complaining or working the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontherise219 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Non of the merrilville draws changed so it the brackets didn't effect that: maybe it was a simple mistake. Overall it doesn't matter in a single class system you will have to beat a tough Friday night wrestler either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2CJ41 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I just posted this.... I just talked to a pretty highly important person as in someone that helped put together the brackets. First off, if you have any questions feel free to contact the IHSAA and they can answer your questions directly. The change of the brackets was not in any way shaped by Merrillville's handing the sheets out or by IndianaMat releasing them. Those were the brackets sent to TrackWrestling to preload into the system. When they gathered on Sunday to put together the brackets they realized that they were different than the ones that were already posted. They then made the decision to keep going with the "new" set of brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwilly Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) I remember a 4 from Ft Wayne up 7-2, and spladdleing a 1 from Merrilville on Friday. Just wrestle. Who cares if the brackets changed? I think that same 4 from Ft Wayne went on to beat the 1 from Evansville too.

ekocottonball Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 So Saturday the Merrillville printed brackets were correct and the trackwrestling online brackets were incorrect. Then Sunday the Merrillville printed brackets became incorrect and the trackwrestling online brackets became correct. I couldn’t explain this if I tried.

frigginhurts Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 so far I still have not seen a reasonable explanation. Were the brackets correct Saturday night and if so WHY did they change Sunday? If they were not correct, why did they get released? TWO SIMPLE QUESTIONS. Who ordered the code red?

The draws were reflected in the brackets posted by Indiana Mat. When they gathered on Sunday, the brackets they had were different from the ones that were drawn, so they arbitrarily changed the brackets. Is that correct?

Y2CJ41 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 This is what was told.... The brackets I released Saturday were intended to be the brackets that were used. The formula was sent to TrackWrestling to preload into the system. That formula was loaded and everything was fine and dandy. Sunday morning in a meeting with the commissioners, tournament director, and any other important person they were to do the brackets. I assume this is just a rehash and double checking so there are not errors. After doing a weight or two they were "confused" that the brackets were different. They then realized it was a different formula. Then they needed to make a decision whether to go ahead with the new one or use the original intended formula. They decided to use the new one.
