As we enter this weekend, 143 wrestlers out of the 224 competing this weekend ended the regular season ranked in the top 16 in their respective weight classes, and several more had been ranked at some point in the season. This means that, on average, there are over 10 kids at each weight who finished the regular season ranked in the top 16. Y2 will be posting my preview of the first round, highlighting all of the Friday night matches between 2 ranked wrestlers, which there are 39 of, and that preview will also include bout numbers and mat numbers for the fan's convenience. I would also like to note that there are only 9 matches in the entire first round that do not contain at least 1 ranked wrestler.
