    This is one of the problems with Indiana wrestling. So what if they see a video of you wrestling in December hopefully all coaches involved are helping their kids expand their games for February. But again we are worried about sneaking up on people

    So a couple things in Re: to the streaming at the Team State Duals.  I am going to put it all together in one place since there are a couple of posts regarding videos from team state.
    First, it was a hectic time as we had different camera/computer/table set ups at each table.  TrackWrestling set up a standard for using TrackCast, and unfortunately only 7 of the mats that were streamed had the full TC equipment from TW.  The week before, Mark Durham had rented TC kits (as well as used his own 6 computers) from TW for the DII grind of a tournament, Midwest Classic.  Those computers and streams had very little issues.  Unfortunately for this tournament they used some ISWA computers and video cameras that caused for some spotty video.  For those that were complaining about Mat 10 during the event, this was one of the locations where the computer/camera combo were failing us and we had to put a new setup in mid event, which hopefully helped.
    The good news in this is that we streamed the event, still had many colleges looking at the videos based on the paywall, and it seems like the tournament admins want to rent video equipment from TW for next year. 
    Second, the archives.  We were told that archives were not supposed to happen, unfortunately it is automatically archived on TW and when we found that out we had to contact them to stop the archiving of matches.  So this means that the first 2-3 rounds (depending on teams) are archived and available to watch for free.
    This is a major college recruiting tool that has helped Indiana kids get offers from schools.  If the tournament hosts do not care, I can archive the rest of the matches. It is hard to see how this is a bad thing for our wrestlers because of scouting.  If you know anything about high school wrestling then you should know that coaches trade film to scout.  In this case, at least you have the ability to watch all of the matches.
    Third, not having anyone manning the cameras.  We knew this was going to be an issue.  There are a couple solutions that we have went through on how to make sure that the cameras are focused on the action.  Having a manager from one of the teams run the camera, getting more help for the tables, whatever we need to do.  We know there was a water bottle in the view of the Brownsburg v. Portage match, unfortunately.  We are working to fix as many issues as we can while hoping to be able to bring streams to the Indiana Wrestling community next year.
    No solution for this yet, but we are working toward finding a solution.
    The mats were setup for 1-6 (finals and 3rd place mats) to have the best streaming equipment (the ones that came from TW).  That is why the 3A schools were having the spotty computers/cameras.  This is something that was decided while setting up and honestly it was probably for the best that we kept those cameras there as it would have delayed the tournament even more if we hadn't.
    Next year, we are hoping to rent another 5 video kits so that the streams are corrected.
     
    I am sure there are more things that you would like answered, so if you would like, go ahead and ask and I can help.

    To be honest.... while I love to pump up wrestling around here (#TheCounty) on this site... I have been a team leader or coach for half the kids that wrestled 3a yesterday. I have lots of love for all those kids (regardless of school). I love Indiana wrestling and have been blessed to meet many guys like you. In the long run, guys like us are in it for the for the kids. You do a great job with the Perry club. Enjoyed hanging out. See you soon buddy.

    Indianamat does a state finals pickems every year and a lot of people submit picks and a lot of average fans can not get the top 10. But we appreciate your opinion

    Before your panties get into any more of a bundle, there is not a plan to charge for the rankings. 
    Secondly, you highly underestimate the work that it takes to do the rankings. There is a lot more work than you can imagine that Mike, Nick, Dane, Howard, and Caleb put in. It seems easy because we put all the information right in front of you such as past placements and significant matches. It is not as easy as those guys make it look.

    Avon gets another starter back last night. Iswa state champ Jayden Williams makes his debut with the team. Still waiting for senior 195 Andrew Frank to return next week. Mason Miranda and Carson Brewer returned over the weekend. The Orioles take down number 10 Zionsville 55-20. Team is shaping up for team state.

    Is it about resume or who is better? Brownsburg dismantled Avon and will get a huge bump to their resume if they win Team State next weekend.   I would love to see a dual between Brownsburg and Cathedral, but Cathedral chose to opt out.
