COMPLETE: NCAA wrestling championships...winner Oregon State

[flexmaster33]

The NCAA tourney preview is up and the tourney is going to be underway in minutes...sending out the 125-pound maps first and I'll keep them coming from there. We'll cruise through the brackets as the matchups come available, however, the placing matches will all be played at the same time with 7th place bouts going out first, then 5th-place, then 3rd place and finally our championship bouts for each weight.

I'll be updating team scores often since this is the title tourney. Good luck to all, and note the new three-map scoring format for the championship bracket (consolations will stick with the one-map format).

good luck to all, but especially to the Oregon State Beavers!!!

OKay Mehmed, Time to buckle our chin straps! Go Stanford! Fear the Tree!!!

What if both people when a match in 5 rounds? Do they both earn a pin and beat each other?

[flexmaster33]

In that case, whoever scores the pin first wins...first period trumps 2nd period and so on...good question

[chiefsfan4ever]

I won 2 of the 3 games in Canada.

[flexmaster33]

Brackets updated and the first edition of the Scoreboard is up...Iowa State is our early leader with 15 1/2 points in the early stages. Been a busy couple of days, but I'll get more bouts out over the weekend. I've invited all who have open slots, as well.

[chiefsfan4ever]

Excellent job Flex.

Let's go Cyclones!

[flexmaster33]

165 and 174 pound brackets have their first-round bouts sent.

[flexmaster33]

All first-round bouts have been sent out...except for 184 pounds where one qualifier remains active.

[flexmaster33]

brackets updated through 125, 133 & 141...and 2nd round bouts sent out...team scores reflect updates through that.

[flexmaster33]

The 149 and 157 brackets have been updated now, too, along with the Scoreboard. Iowa State continues to be our early leader with 21.5 points, holding a slim edge over Cornell and Illinois at the moment...still very early though.

1st period pin in the 149 bracket.
Game 7521423

[flexmaster33]

Most brackets are updated...along with Scoreboard...Cornell moves into the lead for the moment.

New maps going out...please join the first time I send out links...it takes quite a bit of time double checking to make sure everyone has joined where needed...obviously, I'm being patient with those who are freebie players (I know it's a large batch of maps in these early phases of the tourney)

[kratos644]

1st period pin again Game 7517149

[chiefsfan4ever]

Damn, Cornell is on a roll.

[chiefsfan4ever]

Hey Flex, Quick Question. If we end up facing our partner, are we required to play against each other? Or can we just decide who will play against each other and get full points?

[kratos644]

Takedown and nearfall in the first period
Game 7546061
Currently 5-0 me

Hey Flex, Quick Question. If we end up facing our partner, are we required to play against each other? Or can we just decide who will play against each other and get full points?

You will get full points (auto-pin) and can either play it out or simply decide who advances.
I won't be the case across the board, but for almost all draws I tried to keep teammates on opposite sides of the bracket.

[flexmaster33]

some brackets updated...scoreboard updated...new bouts sent out...more coming late tonight.

[kratos644]

I win my 1st round bouts in 174 and 285 by major decision.

[kratos644]

7 rounds. Game 7565644
I'm up 5-0 in the bout.

[kratos644]

Game 7576074 1st period pin for me.

[flexmaster33]

All brackets 125-165 classes have been updated and I've sent out new bouts at 149 pounds and 165...Cornell continues to lead the pack, holding a slim four-point edge over Iowa State, while my OSU Beavers have moved into third place

The upper weight classes will be updated at some point Wednesday and I'm hoping to get all fresh bouts out in all weight classes. Good luck all...we're closing in on some key bouts ahead.

[flexmaster33]

All brackets are updated with a fresh scoreboard...Iowa State regains a two-point lead over Cornell in the team tally with a tight pack following behind that. New bouts for brackets 174 and above will go out in the morning.
