The first article has the NCAA schedule for Thursday different from what has been done in the past. In the past on Thursday night the pigtail consys were followed by the 2nd Championship round and then the consys. What it says here doesn't actually make much sense.

THURSDAY, MARCH 21
TBA

• Session 1- Eight Mat Configuration
• Pigtails and First-Round Competition

TBA

• Session 2- Eight Mat Configuration
• Preliminaries: Wrestle-Back Prelims (pigtail matches) as needed.
• Wrestle-Back First Round.
• Followed by Championship Round, Second Round and Consolation Round.

lol. I noticed that as well. I don't like to give away all the reasons folks should read the linked articles. But I do enjoy seeing which poster is the 1st to pick up on/comment on the interesting nugget.

Can't be right. 170 total bouts (17 per weight class) in Session I, 170 total bouts (8 in Championship and 9 in Wrestlebacks per weight class) in Session II is the way the manual has it listed...same as it's been.
