BigCardinal141 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I was looking at the brackets and didn't see mat #'s listed. Is it first available or is there a simple formula to figure this out (i.e. top 2 matches on the bracket = mat 1). We are trying to plan ahead for where we would like to sit inside Banker's Life.

Rookies03 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Track assigns as first available. Typically it assigns matches 3 deep so 106 and first matches of 113 should be set but then after that first come first serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Culp Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I do not like the first available for a tournament like this. Too many teams bring 1 wrestler down, but have many fans that want to sit near the mat that the wrestler will wrestle on. Not a fan of sitting near mat 3, but then the wrestler wrestles on 1. Go back to the old format please. munges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggin89 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Good luck telling your mom that, Blane. The IHSAA has been told that is how the NCAA runs the event and they believe that makes the meet run fastest. ugotstuck2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMILL Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 so the IHSAA listens to the NCAA about how to run the tournament but won't listen to them about the weight class order for a featured match ? pjayroza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backtothemat Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Track assigns as first available. Typically it assigns matches 3 deep so 106 and first matches of 113 should be set but then after that first come first serve. Last year 106 and 113 mat assignments were set. The top half of each bracket wrestled from top to bottom on mats 1-4, respectively. Then repeated for the bottom half of the bracket. After that it was first available.

leggin89 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 No, the IHSAA listens to their meet director and TW Supervisor. And not a single person has said that they will not do a Random Draw at the Finals. Unless you have more insider information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWINfan Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 It does make it go faster. In the Evansville SS the mats were preassigned by weight class and 1 or 2 mats were way ahead of the others. I think mats 3 & 4 were wrestling 195 & 285 while 1 & 2 were still on 160. I do understand the concerns from a viewing perspective in the arena. I'd hate to be near 4 and want to see the match on 1 if they are lined in a row like they were in Evansville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chambers Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) No, the IHSAA listens to their meet director and TW Supervisor. And not a single person has said that they will not do a Random Draw at the Finals. Unless you have more insider information. The IHSAA has said in the Winter Bulletin that a random draw will not be used. "G. Competition in dual meets shall be conducted by a random draw of weight classes. A random draw for championship final matches for an individual tournament, regular season and/or state high school championship series, may be used for competition. (Rule 1‐2‐2 – NFHS Wrestling Rules Book) NOTE – A random draw for championship final matches in the IHSAA individual tournament series is NOT TO BE USED. Championship matches throughout the individual tournament series shall be conducted in weight class order beginning with the 106 pound weight class. The draw shall take place immediately following the conclusion of weigh‐ins. Subsequent matches will follow in the traditional order. In multi‐dual events, the sequence determined by the draw will be followed for that day’s subsequent meet competition; the subsequent dual meet shall begin one weight class beyond the starting weight class of the previous round. (Rule 1‐2‐2 – NFHS Wrestling Rules Book)." Edited February 17, 2016 by chambers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
