When is the drop dead time for entries in your  contest?

I was originally thinking tonight to give me time to set up the scoring and visuals, but that is all done, so up until the first match.

125 | 18 DeAugustino - consis

133 | 24 Chlebove - champ

141 | 23 Fongaro - champ

149 | 20 Williams - champ

157 | 18 Zerban - consi

My guys have some work to do. 6/10 in the consis after round one. 

[Wrestleknownothing]

Feel free to check my math (you really should check my math).

The good news? No one got blanked.

After round one we have a five way tie at the top of the bottom half:

@ionel and @JuanMogen went with identical strategies picking only #17 seeds.

So far it is working, but if it keeps working it means you end in a tie. Which is worse than like kissing your sister, it is like kissing each other.

500 Wrestler fittingly got 5 points.

Ahh pretty sure I selected 17s first plus my team name is The 17s.  @JuanMogen should've known he couldn't win and picked at least one 18.  Who's enforcing the rules here ... Bob?

You should read the rules more closely. Criticizing the rules is against the rules. 

[Wrestleknownothing]

No surprise that the #17 seed provided the most "upsets" with six.

But the #20 over #13 also happened a bunch (five).

#22 over #11 and #21 over #12 happened four times each.

#1 thru #6 held serve.

You two can have your 17's.  I'm riding the Rogotzke pony Express to the finals

Great minds think alike. So do terrible ones. How does it feel to think like a 65 year old fat, balding, angry man with 4 ex-wives, 3 months behind on rent, and wrestling is his only joy in life?
