    Even though there is a seeding meeting Friday they've released the brackets but I guess they can be changed but here's the link

    Is there an easy way on Flo to see who is on deck? I can see it on the brackets, but that isn't too convenient.

    I must be blind. There's an upcoming bouts link. Much better. Now if the feed would just come back...

    Can anyone explain why the losers of the 3-6 seeds get a bye in the consolation bracket? Seem backwards to me and forces the winners of the first round to wrestle 2 extra matches. For example Nein had first round match, QF match, and first consolation round match because he was seeded 9. McNutt only had a QF match and gets a bye in the consolation round. How is that close to fair. NDSU would of been significantly better off getting 3-6 seeds since they are winnable and easier road in consolation round.

    I was thinking the same thing.

    I've been at work all day, but looks like the day is going great! Big wins for Tynan and Fogarty in the quarters. 9 of the 10 guys have wins on the day too

    It's just the official way of running a 16 man bracket. Coming out of the 8th seed spot, you still have a better path in the wrestle backs than 9-16, but not as good as 5-7. It's just exaggerated when 11-16 are empty. I guess it pays to get a good seed.

    Interesting. So why not forfeit the first round matches? 7-10 seeds in most cases have near zero chance of winning against the 1 or 2 seeds so if they forfeit the first round they also avoid the beating by the tops seeds and end up in the same place in consolation round.

    Anyway hope they can find a way to finish 3rd in the standings ahead of Oklahoma.
