is defaulting out of the Big 10 tournament and wont be seeded and that the Big 10 will still get 4 at 157.....Iowa chances for qualifying 10 just went up.....and its Kerr at 157 and hes now the 4 seed
I might be in the minority, but I'm glad it's Kerr. Also, don't want to root for an injury, but Schlatter out is great news for Iowa.
wow! for who picked him in our draft
what are the criteria for wildcards for nationals... can DS get one if he doesn't wrestle in B-10's?

I thought you had to at least wrestle in the conference tourney to be in a position for a wildcard......maybe stepping on the mat and defaulting right away meets that requirement
I have never really understood the byes in this tournament. Is there a formula for who gets a bye? Looking forward to a strong showing this weekend.
With 11 guys per weight you have no choice but to have bye's. And as far as the formula they are drawn out of a hat.
Example: They are 16 man brackets so you have 8 seeded wrestlers, 3 unseeded and 5 byes. They put the 8 seeded on their respective lines and then put the 3 unseeded names and 5 byes into a hat and draw for each remaining line in that bracket, so it really isn't a formula it is luck of the draw if you have a first round match or not.
It is all done with computer now, but its all the same concept.
