And, here it is, the final results for KYPSW 2019-20 Dual Season.
Butkus only had one job: post a set of picks that were even mildly competitive, and he would take home the dual season trophy. And, that's what he did. Congratulations to Butkus51 from the 247 board.
Johnstownsteel spent enough time away from harassing HR to finish second, followed closely by nittinsc. Perennial podium stander, Acacia71, came in fourth over PSU9296, by virtue of the first tiebreaker. 247 poster, and nearby Rec Hall seatmate Justin6 shows up in 6th, while bdonsecz nips RoarLions1 by tiebreaker. BTW, RoarLions was off the podium following the next to last dual, but he always finds a way, and finished the American dual tied for first with a 25.
These results are not final until all of my mistakes have been pointed out and corrected.

Randomly checked 15 or so results. They were right on.And, here it is, the final results for KYPSW 2019-20 Dual Season.

Thank you for all the work you put into this for all of us. Greatly appreciated!
I'll add my thanks as well, knowing how much time and effort this takes.
This may sound like an ounce of self-promotion, only because my name is at the top, but I have kept records since the very first year (2013-14), and compiled the list of names that have been All-Americans (top-8 finishers) for the regular season. Tournaments are an entirely different animal. If others are interested, I can post here.

Description
The B1G Championships functions as a qualifier tournament for Nationals. The B1G will automatically qualify a certain number of wrestlers per weight class, based on their placing at the B1G Championships. The auto-qualifiers (AQs) will number as follows: 8 @ 125, 141 and 165; 7 @ 133 and 285; 10 @ 149 and 184; 6 @ 157 and 197; and 9 @ 174. In addition, there is a need to determine an extra place finish beyond the AQ at each weight to identify the wrestler that falls one place short of being an AQ, per one of the criteria needed to attain “Bronze Standard” for eligibility to obtain an “at-large” berth to Nationals. Long-story-short, the 9 AQ weights will have placement to 10th, the three 8 AQ weights will have placement to 9th and the three others will have placement to 8th.
What You Need To Do
For each of the 10 PSU wrestlers competing at the B1G Championships, predict his:
(1) Place Finish, per the placing categories listed below for each weight class; and
(2) Total Number of Bonus Points (to the nearest half-point) scored during the tournament EXCLUDING matches wrestled to determine 9th place through 14th place.
All predictions must be posted in this thread by 10:00 AM Eastern on Saturday, March 7th.
Placing Categories, By Weight Class
125: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, or “DNP”
133: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, or “DNP”
141: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, or “DNP”
149: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, or “DNP”
157: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, or “DNP””
165: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, or “DNP”
174: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, or “DNP”
184: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, or “DNP”
197: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, or “DNP”
285: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, or “DNP”
*Note: As you can see, there is a minimum of 8 place finishes for each weight class. We essentially predict the placing based on the number of AQs +1 for all weights with at least 8 auto-qualifiers. Beyond that, we predict “DNP” for “does not place”.
Scoring
For each PSU wrestler, you will be awarded “Placement Points” based on your prediction for where the wrestler places in the tournament. You will also be awarded “Bonus Points” based on your predicted number of bonus points scored by the wrestler (excluding extra matches wrestled for 9th-14th place). The scoring structure for Placement Points and Bonus Points are listed below.
Placement Points
30 points for predicting a wrestler's place finish exactly (includes the “DNP” category)
25 points for a prediction being off by 1 place
20 points for a prediction being off by 2 places
15 points for a prediction being off by 3 places
10 points for a prediction being off by 4 places
0 points for a prediction being off by 5 or more places
Note: Any "DNP" finish is considered 1 place away from the final placement position for the weight.
Bonus Points
4 points awarded for predicting a wrestler's bonus point total exactly (to the nearest half-point)
3 points awarded for a prediction that is off by 0.5 points
2 points awarded for a prediction that is off by 1.0 points
1 points awarded for a prediction that is off by 1.5 points
0 points awarded for a prediction that is off by 2.0 or more points
Note: Major Decision = 1.0 bonus points; Tech Fall = 1.5 bonus points; Fall, Medical Forfeit, Injury Default, and Disqualification = 2.0 bonus points.
The maximum attainable score under this system is 340 points. Tiebreaker criteria are (1) most placement points, (2) most “30-point” placement predictions, (3) most “25-point” placement predictions, (4) most “20-point” placement predictions, (5) most “15-point” placement predictions, (6) most “10 point” placement predictions, and (7) most Rivals or 24/7 posts.
Example Predictions/Outcomes/Scoring
Example 1. I predict Wrestler A to finish 5th and score 1.5 bonus points. Wrestler A actually places 1st and scores 2.0 bonus points. I receive 10 Placement Points (1st – 5th = -4 = 10 pts) and 3 Bonus Points (2.0 – 1.5 = 0.5 = 3 pts) for a total of 13 points for my Wrestler A weight class prediction.
Example 2. I predict Wrestler B to finish 9th in a 9 AQ weight class and score 2.0 bonus points. Wrestler B actually places 4th and scores 4.0 bonus points. I receive 0 Placement Points (4th – 9th = -5 = 0 pts) and 0 Bonus Points (4.0 – 2.0 = 2.0 = 0 pts) for a total of 0 points for my Wrestler B weight class prediction.
Example 3. I predict Wrestler C to finish “DNP” and score 0.0 bonus points in a weight class with 8 AQ. Wrestler C actually finishes 7th and scores 1.0 bonus points. I receive 20 Placement Points (7th – DNP = 2 = 20 pts) and 2 Bonus Points (1.0 – 0.0 = 1.0 = 2 pts) for a total of 22 points for my Wrestler C weight class prediction.
Example 4. I predict Wrestler D to place 9th and score 1.5 bonus points. Wrestler D actually withdraws after his first match, does not place in the top 10, and scores 0.0 bonus points. I receive 20 Placement Points (DNP – 9th = 2 = 20 pts) and 1 Bonus Point (0.0 – 1.5 = -1.5 = 1 pt) for a total of 21 points for my Wrestler D weight class prediction.
I will post a link to B1G pre-seeds when they are announced and actual seeds and brackets when they become available.
Again, all predictions must be posted in this thread by 10:00 AM Eastern on Saturday, March 7th.
Although these scores will be compiled with the Dual Season and Nationals scores to crown an overall season champion, all are welcome to join this particular event to be crowned B1G champion. Good luck!
