wrestlingest2010 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I expect him to step on the mat twice at Big Tens and default out and wrestle at NCAAs. The defaults 100% still count as "wrestling" but they're more punitive now since you need to do it twice. For someone with only 12 matches, Starocci's seed could tank as low as 6.

And the 6 seed would be very fair to everyone. If Starocci is not injured and the 1 (and seeds play out) then he has the 4 in the semi and 2 in finals. If he goes in at 6 injured then everyone above bumbs up one. Let's say he recovery/figured out how to wrestle with injury by NCAA and is still the best. As 6 he has the 3 in the qrt same guy that wouldve been 4 in the semi. He then gets the 2 in semi the guy who would've been 3 prior and then the guy who would've been the 2 in the finals. So now he goes thru the prior 4 & 3 & 2 instead of just the 4 &2. Prob the least difference from being the healthy 1 seed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob the least difference from being the healthy 1 seed. Absolutely. Candidly, in a case like Starocci where you can't tell how much an injury will affect him, just keep it simple, go with what the matrix says. Had he wrestled more matches, he would have a RPI. As great as Starocci is, he: 1. Wrestled only 12 matches this year 2. Missed a match against Shane Griffith 3. Will go 0-2 officially at conferences Thus his seeding matrix gets napalmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you have to take two losses. Interesting. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that I don't want to be on bottom with a bum knee. Could be tough to get back pressure, and then there's any number of legal ways the top guy can put me in a lot of pain.

I've checked, and there's nothing that says you can't do it twice in one event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the two are treated very differently in the rules. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An injury default is when a wrestler starts but does not finish a match. The wrestler can compete in their next match.

An injury default is when a wrestler starts but does not finish a match. The wrestler can compete in their next match. If you MFF, you are done. If you MFF in the first round of the main bracket OR get an injury default in the top of the bracket and MFF in the first round of consy, you have not participated in two matches and will not be eligible for an at-large.

Lucky dog if you're a 14-seed getting a default and finding yourself a win away on top or bottom from one of 8 bids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
