Going by the last NWCA dual rankings, the top three seeds would be

1. Virginia Tech
2. Iowa State
3. Old Dominion

So I imagine we'd get a first round bye, then the winner of the 7-10 dual, then (assuming no upsets) Old Dominion and then VT. I haven't looked into it yet to see where every team is at but hopefully Arizona State isn't in the 6, 7, or 10 spot.

4 pools of three. Round robin in the pool, then mini-brackets. First-place teams wrestle each other (semi, conso, champ), and so on down the line.

Thanks. I'd assumed it was just a straight 12 team bracket.

How many matches will they probably get? 5???

I looked at their handbook after theshadow posted it was pools. We'll get 4 duals. 2 in pool competition and then 2 in the mini-bracket we place in to.

 

[theshadow]

Much better format than the old National Duals. Nice to know that you'll get 4 duals no matter what, instead of getting anywhere from 2-6.

Looks like brackets comes out tomorrow

Jackson said at the press conference today that Downey is enrolled and eligible but he doesn't expect him to wrestle this weekend.

George Mason & Kent State in our pool

 

[Judoka]

George Mason has one wrestler ranked by Intermat, Greg Flourney is ranked 19th at 157. Flourney beat Rodriguez-Spencer 6-2 at Midlands. Our only other match this year against somebody from George Mason is Larson getting a 16-0 tech fall over Bill Prochiewski, a backup at 125. We have a common opponents with them in Virginia Tech. Here's the results of that dual

125: Joey Dance (VT) over Ibrahim Banduka (GMU) (TF 17-1 5:02)
133: Vince Rodriguez (GMU) over Ryan Haskett (VT) (MD 11-3)
141: Solomon Chishko (VT) over Tejon Anthony (GMU) (MD 10-2)
149: Konbeh Koroma (GMU) over Chad Saunders (VT) (Dec 6-4)
157: Gregory Flournoy (GMU) over Jake Spengler (VT) (MD 10-2)
165: David McFadden (VT) over Blake Roulo (GMU) (Dec 10-3)
174: Zach Epperly (VT) over Daniel Mika (GMU) (Fall 3:26)
184: Zachary Zavatsky (VT) over Luke Ludke (GMU) (TF 17-2 4:04)
197: Jared Haught (VT) over Cameron Houston (GMU) (TF 18-1 5:00)
285: Ty Walz (VT) over Gary Miltenberger (GMU) (MD 18-7)

Are the pool champions then reseeded for the final bracket or is it prearranged?

 

[Judoka]

Kent State has three guys ranked by Intermat. #10 Mack McGuire at 133, #13 Micheal Depalma at 149, and #2 Ian Miller at 157. Good matches for Hall and Moreno to prove themselves. I don't believe we have had any matches against anyone from Kent State this year. Which is a little strange since they were at both Vegas and Midlands.

Cyclone Wrestling ‏@CycloneWR 8m8 minutes ago Ankeny, IA Brackets are out for the Virginia Duals! The Cyclones are the No. 2 seed. #ALLINfor100 http://virginiaduals.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-National-College-bracket.pdf …


If we are the 2 seed, hope that means we don't see VT until finals on Saturday

 

[Judoka]

Took a first look at how we match up against Kent State and I think we need wins out of Earl and Harrington for sure. Some bonus at 165 and 174 wouldn't hurt either.

Might be a dumb question but will they start at 125?

 

[wafflestomp]

Could be a loss for ISU against Kent State.

Could be a loss for ISU against Kent State.

The only sure loss is 157, just lots of tossups.
