Anyone know what time session one and two start on Saturday? And finals on Sunday?

6pm - Session 2 (BTN+ on consolations; BTN covering semi's beginning at 8pm)

All times EDST
3/9/25
1pm - Session 3 (consolations on BTN+)

Know he only asked for saturday and champ, but just to be complete, session 3 on Sunday starts at 1 EST.

Edit- correction, it is 1 EDT since Daylight savings time starts that morning…

I’ll be on the road all weekend for a dog rescue mission. Hope you guys do a good job keeping everyone updated.

Does anyone know if any seeds get a first round bye?

16 wrestlers brackets, 14 teams. If all teams send 10, seeds 1 and 2 get byes.

Missed session 3 on my post. Fixed it now. Thanks.

Really don’t understand why they do all medal matches at same time. There are going to really good 3 and 4th place matches happening. Why not do finals by themselves.

I've wondered that also, but I think the B10 values keeping it to two days on a weekend, and finishing at a decent time to allow travel back home. The B12 makes a big deal with their finals. I've watched it on Sunday night after the B10's a few times and was always impressed with the focus on the finals, but understand why the B10 handles it the way they do.

Wow that’s a later start than usual right? Usually earlier starts for both on Sunday
