I still don't understand your point.
remove the reversal from scoring
No, I'm saying the reversal should score more points.
because it is the same points as an escape and a takedown
So why would you ever go for reversal? You net less points.
Its that the intial TD should be worth something. With a 3 pt reversal, this is how the action looks:
2 pt TD red
3 pt reversal green
1 pt escape red
3-3 neutral position.
So in effect red has gained nothing.
FWIW its always debated every year, and nothing gets adjusted. Hot topic in the wrestling community
FWIW Duke also forfeited at 133 Wed night...sucks for Dennis
It would, in effect, remove the reversal from scoring, because it is the same points as an escape and a takedown, and would result in the same outcome. And my first point is valid that the initial attacker should come out ahead in the exchange, not even.
The way it is now it awards the initial attacker
Well, yeah. If you attack and get a takedown, you get 2 points.
Your proposal would essentially remove a reversal from scoring
No it wouldn't. It would add a point. My thought is a reversal should equal an escape + takedown.
The way it is now it awards the initial attacker if they are able to get the escape which is not a given. Your proposal would essentially remove a reversal from scoring, giving an escape in the process of getting control for a takedown.
The problem is the home venue for the matches. Its B1G vs. everyone because the B1G instructed teams to reserve their home venues for that date. Next year they will try to do the same for all the other conferences and send the B1G on the road
A little off topic, but does anyone else think a reversal should be worth 3, not 2? If you imagine the sequence: takedown, reversal, escape. I feel like that should result in a 3-3 tie.

Branden Wenzel the on Campus recruiting Coordinator for Ole Miss just "resigned"
Leonard, come play for the Hokies
I wish it wasn't B1G vs everybody else, but there are just too many great top programs in that conference. Would love to see three or four nights of a bracket of back to back duals.
They avoid rematches...and we will probably match up with the 3rd highest ranked Big 10 school, which would be Michigan. Penn St- OK State, Iowa-Mizzou, Michigan-VT, Ohio St-Lehigh. If Mizzou loses to NC State tomorrow...then we would probably match up with Iowa
PSU will get Okie St, thats about the only given. Generally, though they have said otherwise i think theyre going to try to keep matchups even to generate interest.
Really think we get iowa, especially if Mizzou loses to the wolfpack tomorrow. Matches for seed include:
125
174
184
197
285.
Half the dual would help with seeding, especially at 125 and 184

# | Hokies Stage Eating Contests, Cornhole Tournaments to Impress 2017, 2018 Recruits on Junior Day The NoVA program is still a great program. The format has changed a bit but the professors are still excellent. Executive program has some good perks and the Professional program does a good job of rotating around the state for in person sessions to meet a variety of learning styles. They just couldn't get a competitive population of students to be on campus for a full time program. It always struggled to get professors to teach the classes.
Its not a bracket. It is like the bowl system. The highest ranked conference champion will face Penn State for the Dual Meet National Title while the other matches well be premiere matchups that will help wrestlers improve seeding for NCAAs. Here is a link that has the criteria. Hokies will be matched based on their final rankings and proximity to opponent from the Big Ten.
I did not think it was possible for a horse to one even with good shoulders.
Actually, in LSU's case the opposite has been leading to this. It's not the fact that tuition costs are too high at LSU, it's the fact that the government has so heavily subsidized the cost of admission through the Tops program that it has essentially been draining Louisiana's budget. Through Tops, any student who makes a 3.00 Gpa in high school will only have to pay about $2,500 a semester in tuition, getting between roughly $4000-$6,000 of their tuition paid for by the program. At LSU roughly 60% of student qualify for Tops.
While there are multiple spending problems in Louisiana, This has been one of the biggest contributing factor with regards to what is happening.
Also, Louisiana just cut Tops and the financial effect of that has had a huge impact on the economy and the situation that's happening right now.
Wouldn't the at-large or one of the smaller conference champions face #1 Penn State?
Here is who I think will get the bids... which conference am I leaving out?
#1 Penn State
#2 Iowa
#3 Michigan
#4 Ohio State
#5 Nebraska
#6 Illinois
#7 Rutgers
#8 Minnesota
Oklahoma State (Big 12)
Missouri (MAC)
Virginia Tech (ACC)
Lehigh (EIWA)
CSU Bakersfield (Pac12)
Gardner-Webb (SoCON)
????
NCSU (at-large)

# | Hokies Stage Eating Contests, Cornhole Tournaments to Impress 2017, 2018 Recruits on Junior Day What was the chippiness in this match? My feed crapped out.
This win guarantees us a match in the national duals which will probably be a rematch with Penn State.
Even with the tec fall on McFadden, tech still wins 19-14! That's impressive! They showed consistency and poise top to bottom in a hostile environment.
They still have to wrestle Duke tomorrow. I fully expect them to win.
This was a problem last year as well, It was fixed well before the school would have gotten shut down.
Only net less if you are able to escape then score your own TD. Net more if you cant score a TD. Also with the period choices, if you are forced to go under it gives you a way to score 2
