Tom, I figured it better to start a new thread with 2018-19, so if you don't mind, can you tack this at the top? Also, to reduce clutter, you can just drop last year's threads to the dustbin of internet history.

KYPSW

Here we are at the beginning of a new season, and that can only mean one thing, it's time for KYPSW. I realize we are still days away from the first Match Notes of the season, but judging from the number of threads that go off the rails, it seems some of you are going stir-crazy waiting for the season to start. Therefore, I thought I would give you something to do to occupy your time until November 11.

As a reminder, funkisfun12 came out on top of the dual meet season, but the contest was incredibly close, with first through eleventh places separated by just 10 points. And, there was even a three way tiebreaker on podium spots 4-6, which went all the way to tiebreaker criteria 3. Crazy. I anticipate that this year's result could be even closer, with the strength of the PSU squad.

Okay, enough of all of that. ARE YOU READY TO RUMMMMBBBBLLLLEEEE?

Here are the rules

· Prior to each dual meet (usually by Wed night), I will post the expected PSU lineup*.

· Prior to the start of a dual, each participant in our competition posts his/her predicted winner and type of victory (dec, major, tech, or fall) for each match in the dual. Injury defaults or DQs count as falls. For each match prediction, you get 2 points for calling the correct winner, plus 1 bonus point for calling the correct type of victory. No points are awarded unless you call the correct winner.

· Predictions for each event must be posted in the KYPSW thread on whichever board you choose (and posted prior to the start of the event) to count for point-scoring. Please only post predictions on one board, PARTICULARLY if you have different names on each board.

· When the posted lineups suggest multiple possible matchups in a weight class and a member posts picks for only a subset of those possible matchups, no points will be awarded to said member for the weight class if the pick fails to include the matchup that ultimately takes place.

· When a PSU opponent forfeits a weight-class during a Dual, every FOS participant in that event will be awarded full point-value for the match (2 pts) and bonus (1 pt) [total = 3 pts]. This applies only to Forfeits where the opponent does not step onto the mat -- Injury Defaults and Disqualifications are not considered Forfeits (they will be counted as Falls, as noted in original text above).

· I will compile and score results, posting weekly updates.

· Highest scorer at season's end** is awarded bragging rights for being the FOS/BWI Dual Season Champion.

* The lineup will not always be certain; when things look iffy, I will post multiple wrestlers at a given weight class, and participants should post their predictions for each wrestler. Generally, I will try to base the lineup on what is presented in the "Match Notes" published by PSU several days prior to the event.
** Tiebreaker Criteria -- Criterion 1: most correct picks; Criterion 2: most correct win types; Criterion 3: most FOS OR BWI posts.
 
As a reminder, because I'm putting all of your picks in manually, (I know, Tikk, I know), it would be immensely helpful if you put your picks in the following manner:

125 Last Name DEC TYPE

No nicknames, no first names, unless their guy has the same last name as our guy.
No, I won't dock you for misspelled names, but I might publicly berate you.
 
My posting, with placeholders, to be updated by gametime next Sunday!! :):);

LOL, thanks for doing this again in advance and I will TRY no to screw up this year.

What format should we post our picks in when there are multiple possible contestants at a weight?

OR works fine. Those picks are going to slow me down a bit, anyway, but if it looks something along these lines, it will be fine:

125 Teske DEC OR Teasdale DEC

or if we know who our wrestler will be, but not the opposing wrestler, it could look something like:

285 Joseph Fall Smith or TF Jones

After several consultations with a fella named Spyker, I feel that I'm prepared to defend my regular season title. In a nutshell, he told me that the key to a repeat victory is:

157 NOLF FALL

Now, don't any of you guys take advantage of my inside info and do the same!

I didn't do this even last year but am interested in doing it this year..I read everything and thought I had it down but then the quoted message confused me.

Tell me if I have this right..

Nolf Fall (Do I have to put the last name of the guy hes wrestling or is this acceptable?)

If we not sure of a weight, I could say for example..

Teasdale Dec OR Schnupp lose decision? Or would I have to put the name of the opposing team wrestler with decision?

Ahh--I think I understand the quoted message..let me know if I have this correct...if Joseph has two potential opponents (let's say Smith and Jones), I could put Joseph F Smith and Joseph dec Jones. If I thought Joseph was going to lose I would put Jones Dec?

Sorry for the newb questions..

There are no newb questions. Or something like that.

I think you got it with your final paragraph. However, in regards to your first scenario, I much prefer to have the opposing wrestler's last name, if you're choosing him to win, particularly if you have chosen names for your other picks. For example...

125 Teasdale MD OR Schnupp DEC
133 Bravo-Young MD
141 Lee MD
149 Jones DEC

Some people only put PSU or the opposing team, like this:

125 PSU MD
133 PSU MD
141 PSU MD
149 Kent State DEC

In that case, don't throw in the Kent State's wrestler's name.

Picks will start to come in on Wednesday after Match Notes are released. Your best bet is to copy and paste someone's selections, then make changes from there. If you copy mine, make sure you change them, because trust me, you don't want to have results like mine.

Suggestions;
-- Place the opposing school at the top of your post. When there are two duals, same weekend, it is a huge help.
-- Only saw one post above without, but please include the wrestling weight. Transferring the info is hard enough, and the weight is visually what's referenced.
-- Thank you to pa-in-tn for doing this again.
-- Good luck to everyone. Even the "Minkle Award" winner has fun!!

Good suggestions, Roar. I forgot to do that myself, but then again, I can usually figure out which opponent my own picks were for.
