gator1 32 Report post Posted March 11, 2022 I thought in the seeding meeting, it was discussed that the goal would be that no one one should be able to be eliminated by losing to the same person twice prior to the medal rounds. But in looking at it, these brackets definitely will see this happening. Just as an example... Under each bracket, the loser of bout 19 and the loser of bout 33 will potentially wrestle in the blood round. But most likely, the winner of bout 19 will be the loser of bout 33, causing the same two wrestlers to wrestle twice before medal rounds. I would have expected that the loser of 33 should drop to the bottom? I thought this was pretty standard - that each round you swap top and bottom for the consis. This way you can't just get eliminated if you have a poor matchup against a single wrestler. This same issue exists in each of the 4 quadrants of each bracket. Anyways, I'm not losing any sleep over this. But this seemed like a mistake last year, and I see we're using the same template again this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
