"MAT"-lab_R2017a Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Information Here is a little side project I've been working on. I've done it in previous years with just some friends and family, but this year I decided to open it up to anyone. The idea is pretty simple. You're given a certain amount of "money" and you are then able to "buy" one wrestler in each weight class. Everything was based off of the Indiana mat brackets with rankings. The accuracy of the pricing is only as accurate as the rankings provided. The winner may receive a small prize, but no guarantees. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. (Especially if there are major mistakes and/or problems) Pricing: The pricing of wrestlers was determined by a Monte Carlo simulation of the entire tournament that was ran 1,000,000 times per weight class. The price is based on the average placement of the wrestler, causing some interesting outcomes. To be honest, this was probably overkill, but I enjoyed it. If people are interested, I can post more later about this simulation and elaborate a little more. LINK P.S. The form will close on Friday Night at exactly 6 PM piscis1956, Chapdaddy, Thor and 7 others 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Spires Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Awesome! I do fantasy basketball and football and have wondered how it would work with wrestling. Looks like you set it up pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

base Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 How does scoring work? Do you only score if they win the championship or are there points per place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"MAT"-lab_R2017a Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Update: I just became aware of the change in the 138 bracket. It should not make an insane change to most things. I don't have time to run the simulation for the new bracket, so I will add M. White with an estimated price based on a wrestler from another weight in a similar situation and remove Schoeff. This is the best I can do as to not change too many prices for 138. Just an FYI, you can edit your submission until 6 PM on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapdaddy Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Man, that's tough keeping it under salary cap. Had to waive a lot of kids I'll be cheering for this weekend. Thanks for putting this together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked everyone that I wanted and was$1100 over and had to make some serious cuts. Thanks "MAT"-lab Chapdaddy and TeamGarcia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick the cheap ones that you think will place, maybe not high, but still place, and if you have money leftover go back through the weights and change some to confidence picks.

I did the opposite, I picked my champs then went down the line subtracting by placement. Both should work well...I think. @Caleb Spires you probably have a better idea at picking these kinds of things. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamGarcia Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 On “serious” side of this topic, I’m pretty sure @DLane plays in something like this in Florida. Brandon, Florida loves their HS wrestling there. Not sure if it was NCAA or HS when he mentioned to me a few years back . The Notorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is no indianamat username, I may use first name (maybe last initial) so people can Identify if they have won. If there is only team name, I can only list team name, obviously.
