Re: Midlands?

Iowa is without Dennis, too though.

And Ereckson who will be their HWT at Nationals. Plus Slaton will be the 141lber for Iowa at Nationals as well and he isn't scoring points for Iowa at Midlands either.

I'm not saying ISU can't win nationals because the Midlands does have some good competition but nationals is whole other animal with all the best at each weight class but Iowa is proving they will be the team beat and it won't be easy.

Re: Midlands?

So with LeClare and Marion wrestling, will Iowa forfeit one of them to get the most points possible, or will they wrestle it out to see who's better?

I don't think a win by forfeit gets you any more team points so i'm sure they will duke it out. as a coach you would want them to compete against each other-competition breeds excellence.

I thought that a win by forfeit was equivalent to a win by fall.

Re: Midlands?

Iowa just gained 3 points on the team total - there was a score not counted yesterday by accident.

In a tourney, if you get a forfeit, you have to win the next match to get the WBF points. Otherwise you don't get anything for that round.

It's a safer bet to just wrestle it out and gain more points for advancing the "forfeit" round and moving on with the additional points.

EDIT: It would still be really easy to stack points by forcing a pin through persuasion. Although, I don't see that becoming a problem with the egotism of the sport.

Re: Midlands?

What are our chances?

Mediocre at best. We've got 6 and 3 still in it. Iowa has 7 and 3 still in it.

But we go head to head with Iowa in 3 weights in the semifinals. Reader, Burk, and Varner could take the lead away from Iowa if they all win. Doesn't mean we'd keep it, though.

Missouri was close, but is probably too far back now (about 20 points behind), with 4 and 5 still in it.

Our wrestlers (other than Varner) have very tough semifinal matchups (well, actually I don't know about Fanthorpe's opponent).

The wrestled it off and not a surprise that Marion won 8-3. However this knocked LeClere out of the tournament, so Iowa and ISU both have 9 scorers left with 3 head to head meetings this afternoon.
