The #1 gets the #8/#9 winner in round 2, so whoever wins there gets a huge benefit if #1 injury defaults. And then the loser of #7/#10 (I believe) gets the #1 on the cosol side. So I think it is 7-10 that would benefit from a Starocci double default. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we now only have MF & ID. Speaking of injury defaults does he actually have to call injury time thus allowing his opponent to choose bottom?

Expand a double default is two :01 injury defaults; one in the main bracket and the consolation. no forfeits. i don't think this should be allowed but it's not my call and my recollection that it would be disallowed has been shot down.

fatlaz Posted March 8, 2024 Share Posted March 8, 2024 All the wrestlers at the Big 10 tournament are going to double default so they don't take a chance in getting injured for NCAA. It's the new strategy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
