Another way to see seeds, depending on how the tournament is set up, is to click on information -> auto seeds, then select the weight class. It lists them in order and all the criteria relevant info.

Thanks for sharing the criteria! Based on looking at the auto seed info, I assumed middle school state placer was higher than regional qualifier or win %/wins when looking at 150. 16-4 freshman #1 and 9-0 senior #2. Not complaining, I know nothing about either wrestler, just an observation. 157 looks very interesting to me based on records anyway. This is a pretty tough tournament to win and is somewhat underrated IMO. Always look forward to seeing the results. Good luck to all!

Thoughts on Possible College Rule Changes?
RAJR replied to aoberlin's topic in High School Wrestling
Maybe go back to when the 1st period started neutral. The 2nd period wrestler with choice picks top or bottom, can't defer. The 3rd period top and bottom position wrestlers are flipped from 2nd period. This puts both wrestlers in all three positions if the match gets to the 3rd period. This enforces wrestlers to make a decision, plus none of this wishy washy defer and wimp out going neutral all day. Oh, yeah, and no bumping. Set the lineup and wrestle straight up. Coaches can now sit back and relax and not have to stress out about matchups. Ya know, like how folkstyle should be, plus these changes would reduce fan confusion. #bazinga -
NCAA Division I Nationals Results & Discussion Thread
RAJR replied to SWINfan's topic in College and International Wrestling
Obviously, don't know what's going on behind the scenes with Lee or Iowa. Seems like somethings been up all season to me. I thought he would FFT last night after the loss. If he won, bet he would be wrestling tonight. Some "funny" comments I have seen: - I guess excuses are for wusses unless you lose. - He's with his mom getting new glasses. - He's too good for wrestlebacks. Bottom line, hope he is ok and loved watching him compete. One of the most dominant of all time. Wish it would have ended differently, but honestly, he doesn't owe us anything. -
You referring to 133? If so McGonagol is out. Jesse Mendez moved to the 13 seed so moved away from Vito.
-
I think so as well. IMO, if the B1G match was officiated like the finals (i.e. quicker stalemates & stall calls) or Mendez doesn't choose down, I think he would have won that one.

Potential Big Changes in Indiana Wrestling
RAJR replied to RHendricks9's topic in High School Wrestling
Not a tiny school. Enrollment shows over 900. SMH... The only thing watered down would be some people's opinion. All I observe when a school wins a class championship is excitement and community pride. I went to a large school about 2,000, my kids' school was about 500. Big difference in many areas, resources, facilities, number of coaches and fewer practice partners (especially quality partners) to name a few. Yes, you have to put in the hard work and a lot is accomplished outside of the school season. But there is more to it than work harder for small schools. -
Maybe, could see it a little higher. I realize rankings aren't the same as seeds, but most of the final rankings had Silas 8 and Dean 9. Not too often you see the top 7 ranked guys not from the B1G. Regardless, should be interesting to see how it shakes out and an exciting weight class to watch.

Link below if interested: NCAA announces at-large selections for 2023 Division I Wrestling Championships | NCAA.com A few that caught my eye, Austin Gomez in at 149, Paddy Gallagher in at 157, DJ Washington in as well. Not to surprised, but no Brayton Lee.
-
Nice win for G. Rooks over Gomez! I believe this was his first match back from injury and he didn't seem like the normal Gomez to me. Then he gets a slam call vs Miller (MD) and subsequent DQ in the consos and is out. Miller MF next match. Maybe Gomez will get an at large bid, otherwise he's done.

Not adding a riding time point. If you ride a minute, you currently get a point. I am saying you don't get that point unless you also scored a near fall in the match.
-
I like the idea of no riding time point unless near fall was scored. This season seems like a lot of parallel riding, no attempts to turn and no stall call. Also like the 3pt takedown. Doubt either will happen though.
-
I get what you are saying, but with the format of the state finals, sometimes the second best wrestler loses before the finals. Draw can impact the strength of the path so to speak. Sometimes the "finals" happen in the semis. I don't think it's as clear cut as you would initially think.
-
Agree, Maybe I watch too much college wrestling, but the out of bounds calls seemed very inconsistent. Anyone know if there was some discussion on this regarding the mat layout or something? I liked the new layout, just thought some of the calls were incorrect with my understanding of the rule. As stated, a tough job and overall thought the refs did a nice job!
-
So now New Castle is a small school? I mean 800+ students, smallish by todays enrollment numbers I guess. They are more likely 2A due to large schools becoming larger and larger. This impacts the calculations. Small IMO is under 500, being a little generous. 503 was lowest 2A and just over 1,000 was the largest. Not dissing New Castle at all! They earned 5th place in the IHSAA tournament as a team and should be proud of the accomplishment! However, they weren't in Team State this year and are outside looking in right now for next year. Maybe they get in, my point is this illustrates the difference between the two "tournaments".
-
Well, I didn't care for the shadows on the stream, but, liked it overall. Sometimes it's too dark in the stands with a bright spotlight on the mat, don't like that in person or a stream. May be hard to please everyone. I know in the past have felt it was too dark for safety reasons in person.
-
Uh, not even close to worst. I won't give specifics, but will say it was purpleish.
-
May need to refresh or fast forward on IHSAAtv. I had to missed the intros...
-
Thought it started at 7:30pm Eastern? If not, gulp....
-
Agree, I think it should be full 2 minutes starting at Sectional. The consolations are important for team scores and placement for the following week. 1 minute can mean a lot in a match, more time to score and conditioning is a factor.
-
Luke Penola. Yup, definitely, Penola. haha
-
Guess I am confused. This is from IHSAA.org: Streaming: All matches on Friday and Saturday, including Saturday night’s championship round, may be viewed via live stream for a subscription fee of $15 via IHSAAtv.org. If you have a FloPro+ plan, you may also view the livestream at FloWrestling.com. Saturday night’s championship round may also be found on the Bally Sports+ app. I don't have Flo, is FloPro+ a different plan or something? I purchased the package on IHSAAtv, I as able to login for the finals tonight, just said broadcast scheduled. So assuming (& hoping), Finals are included.

STATE FINALS THREAD....Key matches and Upsets!
RAJR replied to SIwrestling's topic in High School Wrestling
Maybe a timing call by the ref? Calls it as Graham pulls him back? IMO, Graham should have been hit earlier in the period. Worst stall IMO was on Beck vs Clark. Had a cross wrist and appeared to be to the side looking to turn? Ref never called Clark at all and he was parallel most of the 3rd. Not very consistent. -
I like them as well. Miss fewer matches and easier to follow who is wrestling since only 1 weight class is on the mats.
