  2. We also had approximately 800 + streams through Track before the finals! Even with a percentage of those being purchased to see the archive only after the stream, that is incredible. The perfect storm of Hype, weather, and a already great event.
  3. Another big reason the team state series wasn't supported in the end by the IHSAA was the lack of interest at the lower levels. Many host sites not only reported almost zero attendamce, but also the issue with teams bringing JV squads or 1/2 a team of they were going to be beaten. Many host schools were refusing to host again because of the presumed lack of interest. It wasn't all about the money the ADs lost, but also about not wanting to host a on event that has zero interest. I myself never made it to team state. We had good teams but always got knocked out by Beech Grove at sectional or Cathedral at Regional. I never once thought "If our sectional wasn't so good..." or "If the draws were different.....". We got beat. Didnt matter if it was the first round of the tournament series or the finals at Team State. We weren't as good as we needed to be. In Track and Field, we always had BD in our sectional. It was so close every year for the team a score. They usually beat us. Individually I got to move on. But we didn't win because we just weren't good enough. Can't complain. And, Track and Field operates similarly to wrestling. Team champs determined by an individual tournament. Yes we had Dual meets during the year. But in the end, the success of our team in the State Tournament Series depended on our individual performances. Didn't matter what our seed was, what heat we were in, etc. Perform or don't. Lastly, it is rather suspect that when the team scoring ended at Individual State, the association still kept team score "the old fashioned way" even though they now a had a true team format. Now we go back, and the association says we still need a true team format. Pick what you don't like, and stick to it. The IHSAA will not flip flop.
  4. We are now starting the finals! Team Score so far. 1. LN - 210 2. Cath. - 209 3. NC - 207 Wow! Live now youtube.com/watch?v=R0N0YCzQQAo
  5. Another aspect that to the high number of forfeits at Marion County is that a number of coaches would rather put their freshman or lower quality varsity wrestlers in a JV tournament the same weekend to get them more matches. The Marion County Tournament is set up by the Marion County ADs to mirror the IHSAA sectional as much as possible. This means the 16 team format calls for wrestlers who lose first round to be eliminated from the tournament. Also, if a freshman wrestles in the Varsity County, they can not participate in the Freshman County later in the year. This turns out to be a catch-22 situation unfortunately. The coaches want the first round losers to advance into the losers bracket and for the first round to be scored. Since the evidence has shown that they will not fill the weight classes, the ADs won't go for scoring the first round. Ironically if some of the wrestlers had come, they would have advanced by forfeit. 106 and 113 only had 6 wrestlers each entered. I can say that if another round of wrestlebacks did get added to compensate for the first round losers, it would add at least an 1.5 hours to the tournament which can be long already. I remember when I wrestled in it, we wrestled on Friday night and then came back Saturday morning. That might be able to accommodate the extra time.
  6. After numerous technical difficulties, the streams for Mats 1 & 2 are now up. We are in semifinals, so login for some good matches.

  8. The mat assignments for this year's tournament will be the same as last year's tournament. The first two rounds will be assigned on a first available system. The Semi-Finals and placement matches will be assigned to specific mats.
  9. Agreed. Lots of waiting. Be prepared to wait in line outside of the Deleware Street entrance to Banker's Life. There will be a long line. Be prepared to take a nap while waiting for weigh in.
  10. We are experiencing technical difficulties and have been working feverously to fix the issue. We should be up an running for the Semi-finals and Finals.
  11. New Castle will be streaming all 4 mats live through Trackcast.
  12. The other time must be Election season right Steve?! But really, the thanks must go to you.
  13. Steve B. does such a great job of promoting wrestling in the Indianapolis and Marion County area. Without him for the past decade, no wrestling would be covered let alone to the extent that he covers it.
  14. Just quoting the manual. The IHSAA makes it very clear though the Bulletin and the Tournament Manual what they want their Tournament Directors to do. They publish this information to be transparent so it will eliminate the possibility of different sites doing different things. With that being said, I wouldn't doubt that some sites choose to disregard this information (they are only human). If a site is going off of the norm that is set, it may not be approved. Or, it may be approved. There is no telling really. My opinion on seeds and criteria: they are important. Criteria was created to show an athletes Proven abilities. In general it is very good at sorting out the best wrestlers. Will there always be teams with inflated records due to their schedules, yes. Nothing can really be done to change that except to have some of those other teams at those Sectionals create some dual meets to get head-to-head competition. Will there be issues where very good wrestlers get placed on the same side of the bracket, absolutely. Sometimes that will happen. Will the IHSAA ever approve a "strength of schedule" quotient, I very much doubt that (leaning more towards never going to happen). In the end, every wrestler does have to step to that line and make their own destiny. If a coach thinks his wrestler should have been seeded 3rd instead of 4th (to put him on the bottom of the bracket), he still will have to win those matches. Technically, he is still on track to go to the same match (3rd/4th). Does that take away the chance of an "upset" over the 2 seed, yes. This is competition, and you have to step up. The State Tournament Series is not the place to be concerned about giving a kid who is 7-25 a second or third match in the day. We are looking for the best. The cream will rise to the top.
  15. The reasoning for the blind draw of wrestlers into any open spot on the bracket is: "7. A seeded contestant shall have the same opportunity to draw for a bye as other contestants in his bracket." This is the last point in the Winter Bulletin regarding pairing and seeding. Not saying it makes sense in a tournament that doesn't score the first round, but that is the reasoning.
  16. We are live on Mat 1 and maybe 2 later on as well. No charge.
  17. On another note that involves a Perry wrestler, David Clayton (PM) beat Starks (NP) by Fall. It was a pretty close match before that 8-9. Many of Perry's guys were pretty impressive today. Jennings County had a pretty good showing today as well winning on the day by 2 points.
  18. The other match that he had that day.... Jordan Napier (Perry Meridian) over Jarrett Selis (Penn) Fall 0:23 Good win and Kain and Jordan are both doing very well this season...however, Jarrett is not a returning state placer.
  19. Should be in the next hour. Maybe less. And it is all live at ........ https://new.livestream.com/accounts/11370644/events/3670990
  20. The Marion County tournament is now being broadcast live. I couldn't get the capability to set it up table side, so I couldn't use the cool overlay that would give you the live score. However, when you open up the tournament in Trackwrestligng, it will give you the option to go straight to the stream. You can then use the dashboard to get an idea of the score. Hopefully, I will be able to switch it up at regional here at Perry. Happy Viewing! http://www.trackwrestling.com/predefinedtournaments/VerifyPassword.jsp?tournamentId=155948009
  21. Looks to be a great tournament with some really tough weight classes. I look forward to a big crowd (hopefully)! If however, you can't make it, I will be trying to live stream (portions) of the tournament to youtube. There will be more information on this today and tomorrow. The stream will be available through Trackwrestling.com on the tournament's page. No need to go out and search for it. Again....more info on this later.
  22. In all faireness, team points are something that referees deal with very rarely. Usually, their only experience is is taking away single team points due to infractions. Even then, it seems that the expectation for team point computation is in the hands of the table scorer or event manager. Still though.....something that officials should know or at least be able to reference in the rules books that they bring.
  23. Very good reminder. This is as easy as switching a drop down box from Yes to No under the "Scoring Wrestler" line when inputting thier name. Event managers, you can always go back in and change this later (if the coaches didn't input it). Even after the tournament is over, this can be changed and the team score will be reflected. Just let the teams know about it.

    Both of them are great wrestlers, I do have to say I am surprised at the outcome though. Thought there could have been stalling called.
