And the differential just gets bigger.I do agree that all points should be halved on the backside.
I'd have to check the math, but offhand think it's set up that way so that your max points for your placement is the same regardless of when you lost.I do agree that all points should be halved on the backside.
Askren had some interesting thoughts about improving tournament scoring. I can’t track them down.
Yet another asteriskI agree, all points should be halved in wrestle off.
The advancement points are equalized, but the potential bonus points are still doubled.I'd have to check the math, but offhand think it's set up that way so that your max points for your placement is the same regardless of when you lost.
I.e., Kasak's max points for 3rd place would be the same if he had lost in the semis.
Again, would have to check the math, but I think that's how it works out.
well scott just get more guys on the backside!!DUHHH
Reducing bonus points on the back side would probably impact the product. Going for bonus because of the value adds excitement imo.Don’t do anything stupid like making bonus point wins less important. Sheesh.
At the Princeton Open?Next year, if somehow Goodale had a top two seed he’d complain they should get 3pts for the bye or the points earned in the next round. He’d be a true sage. 🙃
On the backside you could still give 2 points for a fall and reduce a tech to 1 and major to .5. This way you are still encouranging wrestlers to look for falls.Reducing bonus points on the back side would probably impact the product. Going for bonus because of the value adds excitement imo.
ThisSo now we want to decentivize pins, which is the sole purpose of wrestling, while simultaneously incentivizing pushing people out of bounds, which is the exact opposite of the meaning of wrestling.

Doubt anyone’s primary goal is to “keep things close” unless your Lewan.. maybe if you know the other guy is much better then “keeping it close” could be a strategy but doubtful a primary goal? Lol?If you've ever seen Rutgers wrestle, you'd know their primary goal is to "keep things close". In fact, at the Rutgers/VT dual I attended this year, a lot of Rutgers fans were upset with the new 3 point takedown because (wait for it)
it would make it too easy for wrestlers to get a big lead and bonus points. (Not kidding, it was actually a conversation between a group of Rutgers fans who were all in agreement. And I'm pretty sure they were talking about Rutgers' opponents taking advantage of the new rule.)
My God, yes. Imagine getting halved this tournament. That would have been even uglier.And the differential just gets bigger.
A well-organized NIL program makes the 9.9 scholarship limit obsolete.NIL and the Portal make PSU stronger.
Cael doesn't want kids who are in it for the money and in reality those that focus on the money to make their choice will likely suffer by the distraction. With the money in hand motivation may wane just a bit.
I’ll have to check my math but a winner on the front side has 5 matches.The advancement points are equalized, but the potential bonus points are still doubled.
You have to compare 3rd place by wrestling to the semis then falling onto the backside vs losing first round and crushing the backside all the way to third. The advancement points should be equalized for the same final placing regardless of path.I’ll have to check my math but a winner on the front side has 5 matches.
Full backside is 7 matches.
How about these two scenarios, both involving a guy ending up 3rd:I’ll have to check my math but a winner on the front side has 5 matches.
Full backside is 7 matches.
Ah, bringing James Franklin into the conversation…🤣When you're elite, 8th place is your goal.
The advancement points are equalized, but the potential bonus points are still doubled.
Even caffeine free Diet Coke?Anything that doesn't incentivize wrestling is a bad idea.
