RAJR reacted to rrschott in Semi-State Death Pods / Ticket Round Matches
because seeding those events would ignore the performance in the previous round of the tournament. That would mean that some kid who won his sectional/regional/semi-state could theoretically be seeded lower than someone who placed 4th in theirs because of how the criteria is shaped.

RAJR reacted to TripleB in I Love The FORD (RIP Toby Keith)
My Brain be buzzing from typing.... so took a break and came up w/ this gem
Is it Saturday yet?!?!?!
We got winners
We got losers
Dippers and boozers
We got WildCats
We got Bulldogs
We got angry fathers
And the moms all dressed up in their glitter
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, I love the FORD
We got Trojans
We got Olympians
Broken-hearted wrestlers and seniors
And we got state placers
We got fighters
Early-pinners and over-timers
And the old timers in letter jackets talk about their battle scars
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, I love the FORD
I love THE FORD
It's my kind of place
Just walkin' through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face
It’s actually pretty far
Come as you are
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, I love the FORD

RAJR reacted to Christopher Bohn in I need draws
It says the information will be released to the public tomorrow, but if the brackets aren't built, I just checked and they haven't been, all you will see are the participants names when 3:30 comes around and that's it. You won't see who is wrestling who. The complete lack of communication about this stuff is baffling. It's not hard to send out an email to tell people when the brackets will be built. I've said it before, it really seems as though some people enjoy holding this power over people's heads.

RAJR reacted to hook and half in Castle Regional Re-Cap
Fireworks in Paradise!
No respect afforded for fourth-ranked Brady Byrd’s undefeated record by Mater Dei Sophomore, David Aldstadt. Altstadt scored a second period escape and takedown that held up for a 4-2 win. This win (and loss) could have serious implications for the semi state draw.
Not to be outdone, Boonville’s Wyatt Ulrey scored the second-biggest upset of the day with a 10-3 decision of MD’s Caleb Schaefer.
Yet another freshman—Gibson Southern’s Deacon Dressler—took top honors in the balanced 144-pound division.
Highly anticipated was the 150-pound bracket. The top of the board produced a semifinal where Heritage Hills’ Alex Smith pinned North’s Cale Bonenberger for the right to face MD’s Tyler Vanover at the center mat. Smith drew first blood; Vanover got a second period turn for the fall.
At 157, Mt. Vernon’s Colton Schneider reversed his fortunes from the sectional, scoring a second period fall over North’s Peyton Bell.
Who respected 175-pound Boonville freshman Sam Howard’s 48-0 record? I am quite sure Howard had his doubters, but at the end of the day, the Pioneer was at the top of the podium. Three more years of this guy!
Heritage Hills ended their regional on a happy note. The final three weight classes were claimed by Patriots Jett Goldsberry, Parker Hart, and Hayden Smith. The trio punctuated their championships with falls. If you are an HH fan there is more good news: two are Sophomores and one is a Junior.
Take Me Down to the Paradise Pin City*- Of the 112 matches, 70 ended in a fall. Those poor zebras have sore palms…
Ain’t got time to bleed- Mater Dei’s Ty Henderson must have scheduled an early date. The junior only spent 2:12 on the mat en route to his title. Training partner, Isaiah Schaefer, was not far behind him. The top-ranked Schaefer scored a fall and a pair of tech falls. Teammate Tyler Vanover joined Henderson’s club counting three falls and 4:12 on the Resilite. Colton Schnieder wants in! The MTV junior also chalked up three pins. Parker Hart and Hayden Smith rounded out the group of adject domination, each adding three falls to their respective records.
To quote my good friend, WrestleMan: “It was dominate.”
Dominate, indeed.
Sectional round-up- Bad day for the Castle sectional as only 20 will advance to the semi state. At the high end of the spectrum, the Castle sectional had a better day, claiming half of the available titles.
Teams- MD comes out on top with four champions while advancing 12 to semi state. Heritage Hills finishes second, with three gold medalists and advancing seven to the Ford Center.
RIP Carl “Apollo Creed” Weathers, one of the greatest nuanced semi-villain-turned-good-guys in cinematic history: "Stallion, we are born with a killer instinct that can't be turned off like a radio. We have to be right in the middle of the action because we are the warriors. Without some challenge, some war to fight, the warrior may as well be dead."
*Apologies to GNR

I did to let people know, that's all. Wasn't trying to call anyone out or anything. Figured you were busy enough. Apologies if it came across that way and appreciate that these are even available.

RAJR reacted to HawkinIndy in Call your UPSETS
Looks like Frankton SR Crew Farrell (26-2, #9 State/#5 SS) is OUT at the Pendleton Heights regional after he won the Elwood sectional last week. Not sure what happened as he beat Noblesville SR Carter Richardson (#20 State/#10 SS) 2-1 in the finals. Assuming an injury in practice? Either way, hate to see a season end that way, especially for a senior.

Don't complain too loudly! The IHSAA will just make them all random draws like everything else!

RAJR reacted to julio in Seeding Shenanigans
The replacement should go where the last person drawn was placed on the bracket and the last person drawn should go to the 6th seed spot.

RAJR reacted to Chris Cooper in Seeding Shenanigans
Requiring all teams to use trackwrestling as a scorebook would solve many issues. Every result would be public for everyone to see. I don't understand why teams don't use it already. All your matches are online, you can look back in previous years anytime you want.
This would solve the issue of questionable records, asking about commons, etc.
