No. For you maybe. For big wrestling fans, yes. But for someone who wants to watch their Johnny wrestle in a tournament, a year's subscription is ridiculous. And I'm borderline. This year, I have purchased the MD Duals, MD Holiday Classic, Team State and now will purchase the Regional and SS/State package. I'm still getting out cheaper than buying the Gold+ package. Flo doesn't have the Big Ten this year like it has had in the past, so there is no interest there for me. A reasonably priced option for PPV is what made TW better, IMO. It allows for more people to see events, not just wrestling die-hards. And Flo's advertising a low monthly fee, then requiring an annual subscription to get it is misleading. THEN, if someone cancels in the first month, charging them $30 is a load of BS. That model is not the best for wrestling fans across the board.

This sucks! HOPEFULLY the people at Flo have done their homework and part of the reason for buying TW is they know the bracketing and dashboard is better. The main things TW was better at was: 1. Brackets 2. Dashboard and match scoring integration 3. Wrestler profiles & histories 4. Not requiring an annual subscription to watch a handful of matches a year. That said, technology mergers take time. I doubt you'll see much change at all for awhile. I'd be shocked if anything changes by the end of out State Tournament.

I'll take Fitts over Farmer at 152. They wrestled a tough match to open the season. Farmer won in SV as Fitts seeks to run out of gas. Fitts seems to have gas tank issues at times, but watching that match it seemed worse. Solve that Saturday and I think he solved Farmer. IMO, that's his biggest obstacle to a deep run the next 3 weeks.

Penn State is available this weekend and needs matches

Good catch. That was a point I meant to make. Yes, it does appear to be available with Gold +

Track Wrestling has the video rights the rest of the way. (At least up to the Final - assuming the normal telecast will be available for the Final Round, but not sure) Regionals - Each Regional is available for $9.95. This includes Live and Archived video. Semi-State - Each SS is available for $14.95 State - The State Finals are available for $14.95 OR Best Deal - All 4 Semi-States and the State Finals are available for $24.95. Again, Live and Archived Video are included I was kind of hoping they would lump Regionals into a Package as well but this is far better than nothing. I really like the Archived feature. I still on occasion go back and watch matches from previous tournaments, Team State, etc. Tip - Create a password you'll remember, when buying the event. Don't let it generate one for you. A few other notes for those not used to streaming via TW. Pros, skip this part. - You can watch each mat by opening each in a new tab. I typically open all four mats and another tab or the TW Dashboard, which lets me know who is up on each mat. - I cast one mat to my 65" TV. There are various ways to do that. I used Google Chromecast because i can cast a tab only. When I want to switch mats, I simply stop casting the active tab, switch to the desired tab/mat and initiate the cast again. - While I have one mat on the TV, I watch a 2nd mat on my laptop. I bounce between it and the TW Dashboard. Note: The video feed is typically behind the Dashboard, so if you want to focus on a match, don't check the dashboard or you may have found your wrestler has scored or gave up 4 points and the video hasn't shown it yet. - The quality of the video will greatly depend on your internet connection/speed. Also, the device you are watching on - TV/laptop/tablet/phone - including it's memory and processing speed. If you start to have problems with video quality or lagging video, try less mats at one time and see if you can find the optimal level you can handle. - Expect some video issues from Track Wrestling as well, especially early in a day. My guess is each tournament will have more "eyes" streaming than ever before. Plus, there are people at each location working the equipment. In the past, I've experienced video issues, a mat with announcers and no sound (someone hit mute), announcers calling the action with someone right behind them talking loud enough to be heard over the voices you want to hear, or even a camera static on a mat and not covering an edge. Nothing worse than missing a pin when you can see 90% of the mat, but not the fall on the edge! They usually get worked out fairly quickly. You can create a ticket and report issues and TW is pretty good about getting issues fixed or helping when they can, but it won't always happen immediately. - You can only watch on one device per log in. Much to my disappointment. If it were allowed, I could cast my phone to a 2nd TV and have 2 TVs along with my laptop going, but to keep people from sharing an account, it is not allowed.

Yep... Exclusive rights is how it was written

Yes, you can watch all mats on individual tabs. How you do so depends on your internet connection/speed/bandwidth, the device you're using, etc. I open 4 tabs, one for each mat. Cast one to my TV. Watch another on laptop. Use Trackwrestling Dashboard to keep up with what match is going on and on what mat. All matches are archived and can be watched later as well.

Track Wrestling.... $9.95

Which really sucks, regardless of time zone!

Yep, that would be correct

By undermanned are you referring to IU or Penn St?

The Extra matches... some scores may not be exact. Carter Starocci got a Fall over Rob Deters Luke Gardner got a Fall over Jonathan Kervin at 157 Konner Kraeszig at 165 9-0 over Derek Gilcher Kraeszig 13-7 over Sammy Cokeley Beau Bartlett at 141 by Fall over Jonathan Moran Terrell Barraclaugh vs. Kervin 8-0 at 157 Creighton Edsell vs. Deters 10-5

It was posted in another thread this week. 2000 was the number, but no clarification on how that will be calculated.

MD had one 2nd and one 3rd

Did that actually happen or did they enter it wrong in Track? Track has it corrected now

Something I have noticed in all events I have seen this year..... On the dashboard when a match is finished, it shows the most recent score in red/green with the icon of the winning wrestlers hand raised. Below it shows the final result. The issue is, the final results it shows are from different wrestlers from earlier matches. It's not a big deal in a 4-3 match, but in a fall it gets confusing. Hopefully the pics help.

Logan Miller of Brownsburg no longer in the Bracket at the Avon Sectional Anyone else missing this morning?

Watch the Michigan St. @ Ohio St dual on BTN+. It's going on now. You can catch a replay this evening, cast it to your TV and it will be almost like a regular Friday night! It's funny you posted this.... I just got home and was about to look to see if there was one on tonight. Thought it was a little weird that MSU - OSU were wrestling at 3:00 on a Friday afternoon.

Not sure, but this thread doesn't need to be about personal information, just who's in and who's out. Information on some wrestlers may get out and if that's the case, fine. But I'm hoping this can be a resource for those learning who's not in, rather than a discussion about wrestler's person situations or god forbid, a covid discussion.

Saw this today and thought it was an interesting read. This was sent out to NLWC members from Casey Sanderson. Penn State Wrestling Fans!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello again to everyone. It seems an appropriate time to send out another update as it looks like we are on for this weekend and I have started to get questions about COVID-19 protocol, will matches be made up, how many guys can you travel, etc. Although we would have been a little shorthanded last week, we were excited to finally compete. Hopefully, everything works out and we will be scrapping with two solid teams this weekend.It has been quite some time since our guys have been able to wear the Penn State singlet but that delay will come to an end this weekend. We leave Friday for our first trip in almost 10 months and we face off against Northwestern and Indiana. We were supposed to compete two weeks ago against Rutgers but because we were above the threshold of positive athletes we were not able to compete. Last weekend we were cleared to wrestle but our opponent chose not to come.Lets try to explain the Big Ten Covid protocol a little now. The Big Ten rule is if 7.5% of the guys in your testing pool are positive then your program goes on pause for 7 days. If you have guys who have already had COVID-19 then they do not get tested for 3 months which means they are not in the testing pool. The lower your testing pool numbers then the quicker you get to 7.5% and for us that is having 2 guys test positive. Once a guy test positive then the Big Ten requires them to be out for 17 days and they are no longer in the testing pool. Hopefully everybody is still following with all of that. There are also phases for competition and practice based on number of positives and it is as follows:∙ Team positivity rate (number of positive tests divided by total number of tests administered):o Green 0-1.99%o Orange 2-4.99%o Red ≥5%∙ Population positivity rate (number of positive individuals divided by total population at risk):o Green 0-3.49%o Orange 3.5-7.49%o Red ≥7.5%Decisions Regarding Practice and CompetitionDecisions to alter or postpone practice and competition will be based on the following scenarios:∙ Green/Green and Green/Orange: Team continues with normal practice and competition.∙ Orange/Orange and Orange/Red: Team must proceed with caution and enhance COVID-19prevention (alter practice and meeting schedule, consider viability of continuing with scheduledcompetition).∙ Red/Red: Team must stop regular practice and competition for a minimum of seven days andreassess metrics until improved.Hopefully that helps to explain a little bit of why there are delays and how easy it is to get to that red phase. Even if a team is in the green phase some schools will choose not to compete like the situation we were in last weekend. With it being very unpredictable from weekend to weekend someone might not be able to wrestle in the Big Ten tournament because of a positive test but could still wrestle in the NCAA tournament with a wild card if they have at least 4 matches.Will matches be rescheduled and why it is important? We are trying to reschedule our matches with Rutgers and Michigan State and it may or may not happen. We want these matches to happen because like mentioned above they must have 4 matches to qualify a spot at the Big Ten Tourney and to get a wild card but also because our guys want to wrestle. We are trying to work on getting these matches on the schedule but with such a short and condensed season it is becoming more difficult with all the delays. There is another way to get to that 4 match mark though with extra matches at dual meets. We will wrestle our normal dual like in the past and then we are also allowed extra matches against opposing teams. When we travel for a tri meet we are allowed to travel 20 guys and for a single match we can travel 16. This weekend we will travel 20 guys in the hopes of getting everyone a match and in some cases multiple matches for several guys. This is a lot of maybe useless information for some, but we have had enough questions to at least address it. Ultimately, we just want our guys to have an opportunity to wrestle and are trying to do everything possible to make it happen. In the meantime, this past weekend we had our guys make weight and wrestle off to try to start figuring out our starting lineup. Several guys were unavailable because of Covid protocol and will still be unavailable this weekend but we are excited to see our team compete for the first time. It is going to be an exciting weekend and we hope everyone finds a way to watch our guys get after it.In Nittany Lion Wrestling Club news our guys and gals have had the opportunity to compete in several NLWC events hosted on Rokfin as I have mentioned in the past. All of these matches have been archived and can be watched at any time. A couple of our guys just came back from competition in France and a short film documenting this trip will be released on Rokfin.com/NLWC in the next couple days. Finally, the NLWC will soon be announcing another event for February with some very exciting match ups. Thank you for all the support and we look forward to wrestling hard this weekend.GO LIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We know there will be guys for a multitude of reasons that won't be able to go in the tournament. Now that brackets are out, who are some of the ranked or darkhorse wrestlers that unfortunately, won't get the chance to compete? Feel free to include late/unexpected weight class changes as well. Here are three picked out of existing threads.... Preston Haines - 106 - Brownsburg Isaiah Street - 220 - Brownsburg Luke Kemper - 170 - Ev. Central

Don't forget the Grippos
