30-35 years ago I was at the Wilkes Open just watching. Haselrig was there looking at the brackets on the wall. He looked at me(might have recognized me from ncaas) and asked me "how do the consolations work?" I told him, first you have to lose!

It was blank when I looked a few minutes ago

Could be anyone above. They would have all bumped

Basically he forgot to go to class as I understand it

Jimmy c will be upset if nobody responds to his threads

Yeah but the alternate would have replaced 33 after the rest bumped up. There's no 32 either

I see the rule change in the next book as you say but two paragraphs later they say the same thing but it's not hi-lited. I remember from while I was working (last year 2006) that an Iowa kid didn't weighin 3rd day without prior acknowledgment. They discussed it a while and let him go and made some rule change about it.

Kept place and points. Only a rule if no good reason like injury.

They were about the same size. Taylor was given anywhere from 390-425 (I think more at the Olympics). When I "weighed" Tab in at Lehigh about 40 years ago- I told him not to bother getting on the scale and asked him how much. He started at 390 and as I stared at him he went up a couple times and we settled on 415!

He must have missed weight by over 200 pounds!

Not sure. I guess it would allow the second alternate to become the first and weighin. Funny story about this one. Shawn won the year before and was the coverboy for the 1976 rulebook. He misses weight 2nd day for quarters. Coach Stan Abel says last year he was an outstanding wrestler- this year he was out standing in the hall! (Frick was The OW the year before but Stan always took liberties). Also, Abel was one of the coaches that referees would give a warning to when walking into the gym!

They do allow the first alternate in to weighin just in case. As far as I recall, everyone else bumps up seed-wise and the alternate takes 33. Back when I was doing it the deadline was 5pm Monday before. I don't remember having a seeded kid replaced (not saying it didn't happen) to recall the process. I think we would redraw at that point since we didn't seed all the way down.

Right- he didn't medal in 88 which is what I saw (it didn't mention 88 in the one list) I'm guessing the pictured bout was in 92 when both tried out at 125.5

No. Davis was 84 Chertow 88

Chris Taylor died years ago

probably 27.

One year as I was at PIAAs, I heard an announcement about Chertow's Camps. Before the announcement was over, I got an email about the same!

Apparently @wrestle87 and I know each other. One year going to Fargo- Darrion ended up with a double style plane ticket that we couldn't change. He had never wrestled Greco as far as we knew. They taught him the rules on the plane. Of course, he placed. Also, as you can tell from my profile pic I play some frisbee and would throw during warmups. DC would out do me doing gymnastic type warmups.

Davis then. Dake now!

The non-historical formulae used were really initially intended to figure out who gets to go. It does do a very good job at that. I think it's a mistake to ignore historical data entirely when seeding. Neither likely works well anticipating injury situations like Starocci/Suriano/Schlatter (I added Schlatter to keep the All-S team thing going) so might as well do the best you can.

He got caught for it at NCAAs against Lehigh. https://lehighsports.com/news/2009/12/30/WREST_5292.aspx

Since when is Succasunna/Roxbury, NJ part of Pa?

Best parts of the response- "This decision – in no way – reflects a diminished commitment to athletics," Really? Obviously, that's exactly what it does reflect unless they don't consider wrestling as a part of athletics. The university will continue to honor all scholarships for any impacted student-athletes. Additionally, the university will provide support to any student-athletes in the wrestling program who wish to transfer. Which under the currect NCAA environment means they don't have to do much of anything!

It was the final of the EIWA Columbia-Cornell dual meet!

Not last year
