And for the ladies:

Putting this on the last page so we do not have to scroll through to look for the changes:

For completeness here are the outcomes in the consolation bracket: A very different set of results on the pinfall line in consolations than in the champinoship bracket. In the championship bracket as the pyramid narrows the number of pinfalls drops. I know. Hard to believe. In the consolation bracket it is fairly constant until you get to the blood round and placement matches. Things tighten up when all-american is on the line and when final places are determined. More wide open otherwise. I think there is something to that. It isn't just about parity on the back side, I think there is also room in the conversation for the change in pinfalls being due to risk taking.

Reading this it seems a little less thermonuclear and a little more tempest in a tea pot. Some might describe this lawsuit as an attempt to stifle free speech. What are the odds?

I would love to see that too. It seems to me that the matches end early more often with the speed some of these techs. You trap an arm or drop to a tight lace and the match can end in seconds.

I had no idea Musk was a Democrat.

@ionel, and everyone else getting me Weller 12 for Christmas, is good by me.

That sounded suspiciously like someone volunteering to add the superior decision era to my data set.

Yes, Taylor was a pinfalling and TFing machine. Only 6 of his 20 matches ended with a DEC or MD.

That is sharp.

Let's get this out of the way first. I am not looking to break the bank here. So, maybe a Weller 12 year. Winning three coin flips with a fair coin comes in at a 12.5% probability (0.5^3). But Lockhart's flawless coin technique has already been discussed, so let's bump that up to 12.6%. Now let's talk about the probability of 5 consecutive 1 point wins. Using the 1988 - 2021 results we want to focus on the product of the DEC 1 line. Based on this history there is a 0.02% probability (11.34% x 15.34% x 19.85% x 26.67% x 23.64%) of five straight 1 point decisions. Combined with the enhanced coin flip probability we are now at 0.0027% probability of five straight 1 point wins with 3 successful coin flips. I will toast you every time I tipple.

1988 - 2021 data. I have talked about this. Now if you are looking to extend the data before 1988 or after 2021, I am listening.

Well, it is neither death nor taxes, so there is that. But I am pretty certain. There are only like two or three kinds of posts he ever puts up, and I do not feel like a fan would only put up the same kind of post all the time. There would be more variation, more variety. So to me it feels like someone who reserves that screen name for that particular style.

Yesterday it was all about efficiency. Scoring the minimum while moving on. Today it is about using every part of the wrestler. Exploring the space. Having some fun. As long as we are here we might as well stay...and score some points. Looking at the guys who were basking in the moment and enjoying the spotlight (all matches went the full seven minutes) shows 1994 was the year if you like scoring. Alan Fried scored 80 points (20-9, 19-8, 14-4, 12-4, 15-6) in five matches on his way to the 142 crown, while Lincoln McIlravy put up a not too shabby 78 points (28-16, 19-7, 10-4, 13-2, 8-3) in five victories at 150.

This is even more efficient than I initially realized. He essentially won by winning two coin flips. That is a level of economy of motion I can get behind. https://dailyillini.com/uncategorized/2010/02/11/illini-of-the-decade-14-john-lockhart/

The The is silent

Year? Weight? I demand details.

Nice. Of course, he only had four matches. WHICH IS EVEN MORE EFFICIENT. Kudos, Dale. We fellow loafers tip our hat.

I had to read that three times before I got it. Good one.

I think it is worth it to give it a try and see if it works.

Love that one. Jim goes Bye, 8-4, 6-3, 4-1, 3-2 National Champ - and his family says, "Why can't you be like your brother?" Bill went 26-8, Pinfall, Pinfall, 20-6, 13-4. Scoered more in one match than Jim did in four.

Those old brackets are tough for a couple reason. First, he only wrestled three matches, so his per match average was higher than any of our top 10 (5.33 vs 5.0 for 8, 9, and 10). Second, there was no overtime. He won the final on a ref's decision after being tied 2-2 at the end of regulation. The lack of OT puts a cap on scoring, just ask our hero, JT.

Man, I would like that too. Alas, your author is too lazy.
