huge bummer
A big chunk of my interest in this tourney was seeing how close Martelotti was to scoring for us in march
jtothetweet
Make sure this dead horse doesn't move while I go get my beatin' stick.
prelim match before the actual bracket matches.
most times its a win and in, lose and out match.
I just read.
One more question...
You say this is before the bracket…but do the points count toward our team total?
Maybe.
Only if you win the following match.
If a loss follows, no points.
What the hell just happened?

Do we have to name our 10 scorers before the tourney begins
Or can we take highest score in each weight?

Sounds like PSU is going great, but love to hear how the other powers are doing.
So uhhh....
Is 15-3 a good score? Who are we beating?
Some guy at Penn State Hershey just discovered a virus that eats cancer. Where were the CNN trucks for that? Now Someone at PSU found something that could cure Leukemia. Coverage? None. THON will probably break $10 mil this year. Put that on "Outside the Lines" you sanctimonious pricks!

Hope Bolden has a great game. It would be nice to have another QB controversy to get us through the off-season, rather than discussing other events ad nauseum.

Link Attempt
To the trackwrestling Live Bracket. It’s got a ‘gateway’ page, so not sure if it’ll work, but the final land should be on a real simple page that has individual links to live brackets for each weight class.
My paste doesn’t work so well, so here is the Penn State Wrestlign Club page and it has a good link to it called ‘Live Brackets.’ Also has nice wrestler-by-wrestler summary of performances.

Not to derail this thread
but FoxSports is reporting Pats OC/QB coach Bill O’Brien is our next HC.

It's on ESPN and I believe USA Today is where it started.
I’m not buying it. There’s no substance to it, just coincidences. If they’re going after a pro coach, there’s no rush to make this decision. The Pats season is heading into the playoff, and I doubt they’d make it official before their season is over.

But the Pats would also recognize the new HC needs to lock down
this recruiting year. No harm in announcing it now, esp. if O’Brien indicated to the seach committee he was keeping Scrap, LJ Sr., et al.

The Pats aren't going to care about anyone or anything as long as they're in Super Bowl contention.

I’m not totally believing, but I want us to get someone who will get us past the garbage. Scrap can do that, but his job will be tougher because of his long-time association with State.

I liked all of them
unlike Kmart, I enjoyed the third one as well as the others, I literally was up half the night finishing because I couldn’t put it down during the last 100 pages or so. I think this one was the least favorite of all three, possibly because it is so graphic. I like the character of Lisbeth, she’s so badass—and Rooney Mara does an excellent job portraying her (not that Noomi Rapace wasn’t also good, but I think I like Mara better)

I am now hooked on another Swedish writer, Henning Mankell but am currently reading 5th Witness by Michael Connelly, which is really hard to put down. If you havent read his stuff, you should.
I just read.
I like his stuff but he starts by getting into a lot of character development and I think the translation gets funky sometimes but his stories have been really good. I have read the first two Wallender books, he is a police detective. I’m really learning my Baltic geography, too.
I just read.
do you have to read them in order without being lost?
like, could I just read the best one first and maybe skip around?

The Wallender series, I would say yes
Its best, he did refer back to the first book, especially with establishing the main character, Kurt Wallender.
I just read.
Does he have a high-wire act, too?

Do you think it's weird that they award everone who had no pigtail a bye Adv pt
When they win their first (next) match?

They don't do this at Nationals or B1Gs

Also
What you’ve posted shows Reber, who hasn’t won a match, scoring 1 Adv pt for his championship bracket bye (pigtail) and .5 Adv for his consolation bracket bye despite in both cases losing the following matches.
He’s 0-2 and out of the tournament and still got 1.5 points for the team, by virtue of showing up? That’s pretty wac.
Unless I’m missing something.

Gettin my Rambler on....(self-replies)
Yay, I was right and they’ve updated the team scores to remove that 1.5 erroneously ascribed to Reber. As of 9:06p:
1. Penn State PSU 118.0
2. Minnesota MINN 110.5
3. Missouri MISS 83.5
4. Cornell CORN 79.0
Here, I made a google sheet breaking down PSU scoring per wrestler per match. We’ve poured in 42 team points in bonus alone. Pretty remarkable.
Still, Minny’s also got 8 alive in the championship bracket (2 at 133), so this will be tightly contested. Still, still, our lads performances today were lights-out! Still, still, still, tomorrow also marks the last time we’ll get to see Devon Still play for us.

Thanks for the clarifications
I waited for the individual results to be updated before posting anything but I didn’t understand the scoring. I’m still not sure if the final team score will be based on taking the highest 10 (regardless of weight class) or all 15 entries’ scores.
I wonder why Frank M did not compete at 133 (rumors)?
I wonder why Sherlock did not compete at 141 (rumors)?

I started geeking out on the scoring last year
But am still refining. I’ll keep that spreadsheet updating as live as I can keep it today. The PSWC site is amazing & quick with posting individ results which can easily be copied/pasted. And semifinal wins pack another Plc scoring wallop—6pts for each win (for guaranteeing at least 2nd place). Still, with Minny having so many there also, it’ll more likely come down to the 4 Plc pts a win in the finals makes ya.
I read Martellotti is still set to compete in our next dual, but saw no rumors yet why he didn’t compete here.
I also read that Sherlock has been removed from the roster and board speculation has guesses he may follow Matt Dernlan (who recruited him) to Clarion. Roster here.

Oh, also missed one of your questions
The other fellas taught me yesterday that we apparently named our ten scorers before the tourney began, and the posted Team Scores support this. At the Midlands tourney that Iowa just finished, it appeared you could name two scorers in one weight and ignore another weight altogether (although I read conflicting reports of who were the official scorers), but I don’t know if the Scuffle allows this. If they did, it would seem (even given the benefit of hindsight) that Sanderson would know that Brown or Vollrath were more likely to score points than Reber and would have named either of them such. Similar with either Brown/Vollrath vs. Pearsall maybe?
In any event it’s clear our Team Scoring wrestlers are our predominant starters at all 10 weights, so I made two ‘sheets’ on that google doc, one for starters and one for benchers. So Vollrath & Brown’s scores have not been counted along the way.

Good experience for the backups!

Bet
And yeah, this year’s Nationals figures to be much closer with both Iowa & Minny having improved and with us having lost one of our five Top-3s from last year. We’re obviously not gonna repeat Andrew Long’s 18 pts at that weight, but we need to have somebody score a few points. Man, I hope Martelotti can:
1. Get qualified
2. Win 2 – 4 matches

So, we have 9 in the semis, none of whom face each other.
We could have 9 finalists & 7 champions. We have 3 in the consolations.
Born and raised in the shadow of Mount Nittany
Ha, that'd be hilarious
It would also mean a few massive or notable upsets, such as:
157: unranked James Vollrath upsetting #1 ranked Kyle Dake, or
157: #10 Dylan Alton upsetting Dake
174: unranked Matt Brown already knocked off #7 ranked Dorian Henderson; next up for him is #10 Logan Storley
184: #5 Q would have to finish strong, including possibly over #3 Bosak
197: #11 McIntosh would have to knock off #1 Cam Simaz & then possibly #2 Sonny Yohn
HWT: #8 Wade would have to unseat #4 Clayton Jack & #7 Tony Nelson
