Show_Me Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 This is discussed every year post NCAA Tournament. And then it’s not discussed again for another 51 weeks. Lol. Simple solution in my opinion. If advancement points are only worth HALF in the consolations …. then Bonus points should also only be worth HALF as much. It’s hard to understand the rationale to score Consolations the same (in regards to Bonus). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim L Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 1 hour ago, Antitroll2828 said: This is all bc atleast half the fan base wants Goodale gone bc the program is stagnant and finished 20th at ncaas and for not capitalizing on having 2 ncaa champs and a top 10 finish at ncaas a few years back, Two AAs used to have Rutgers fans dancing in the street but now finishing behind schools like WVU they want to see progress ….. Goodale also wants to get rid of team scoring all together at ncaas and just have national duals ..Which is funny bc rutgers hasn’t won a dual they weren’t supposed too since 2015 … can’t succeed in the current system ? Well then let’s just change it So Rutgers fans who are not happy with the 20th place will be happy with say 16th place thatt Rutgers might get if tournament rules are tweaked? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim L Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Personally, if your team is not top 3 why would you care as a fan if you are 10th or 20th? I would judge the success of my team by how the individuals do, A few high AAs or even blood round guys would be a better way to judge than where you are in the top 20. I know it is easier to just look at NCAA team placement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenowa Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 guess I don't understand attacking the messenger when the message has such merit. while everyone wants to see more pins, there is still something inherently wrong with a pin being worth 4 x a decision, especially when most fans are at least used to scoring double (6 vs 3) in a dual format. both suggestions noted above could be implemented, whereby consi advancement matches HS and is worth 1 pt (half of topside) AND consi bonus points are worth half the topside as well. The current format also overly rewards forfeits on the consi side. For what it's worth, I would still prefer to revamp tourney scoring so that the average fan can easily follow, with it matching dual scoring. No advancement points, tweak place points and make consis just half of champ side. combined, of course, with margin of victory scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stupid as this sounds, from an administrator's point of view, it's Director's Cup points. 1 Insert catchy tagline here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Vito destroy opponents, pushing for vital team points, is certainly worth more than 5x as much as watching Fix stall his way to a one point OT victory. The value of bonus points, in either bracket, was shown by all the wrestlers who were going for team trophies, or, in the case of Penn State, going for an historic team point total. Those matches were great to watch until the final whistle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 According to https://pistolsfiringblog.com/guide-ncaa-wrestling-tournament-scoring/ Placement Points 1st place: 16 points 2nd place: 12 points 3rd place: 10 points 4th place: 9 points 5th place: 7 points 6th place: 6 points 7th place: 4 points 8th place: 3 points Advancement Points Each advancement in championship bracket: 1 point Each advancement in consolation bracket: 0.5 point Bonus Points Each fall, forfeit, default, disqualification: 2 points Each tech fall (w/ near fall points): 1.5 points Each tech fall (w/o near fall points): 1 point Each major decision: 1 point Does it not seem reasonable that the bonus points should be halved for the consi bracket like the advancement points? mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all that needs to be done. It would bring an easy and fair solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle26 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 3 hours ago, Antitroll2828 said: In my opinion yes , Bonusing guys in college is really hard nevermind at the ncaa tournament against people whose wrestling careers and dreams are on the line Actually, pins come easier when dreams are on the line… for example, in a dual meet, a wrestler who is losing may simply try to avoid bonus to help his team. At NCAAs, most wrestlers don’t care if they lose by a point or if they get pinned. It’s all the same to them (unless maybe both teams are in the team race). I’ve seen guys get taken down in OT and just give up the pin because their dreams are already crushed - I don’t like it but I get it. Furthermore, I just have a hard time seeing any way of justifying pins as sooo much more valuable. Here’s what Goodale’s example could look like. Wrestler A wins by fall, loses, wbf, and then loses - ending up 2-2 with 5.5 team points. Wrestler B loses, wins 4 in row on the backside (all decisions - including a win over Wrestler B), then drops his final bout to take 8th. He ends the tournament 4-2 and an ALL-AMERICAN. He earns 5 team points. I just don’t see how Wrestler A could be viewed as a better tournament. Team points should reflect the scoring better.

They are all worth 1.5 points now. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
