Friendly contest

[James P. Whitters III]

Pick one wrestler for every weight class. You can only use one wrestler from each school. You can only use 5 total guys that have ever been an All American. You may not use any wrestler who has been an NCAA finalist. Points scored in the 2017 NCAA tournament will be the scoring.

Dance was an All-American in 2014 (finished 4th). Add in Zain, IMar, Dean, Cox, and Snyder and you have violated your own contest rule.

 

[James P. Whitters III]

Ok. I'm an idiot. Back to drawing board.

You should exclude past finalists. Snyder, Cox, Imar, Nolf, Zain, etc. have to among the most boring picks. It really boils it down to a contest of 5 non-AA picks.

This little contest isn't an original JPW idea. I just stole the ground rules from our local mat club dads. They are running it as a contest for a fundraiser. I already submitted my illegal lineup in that one too. It isn't so easy picking your team. I wasted an hour and still was too dumb to realize Dance has melted every year.

I like this idea, makes it more difficult.

Maybe you could do two kids from each class, then your two non-AA could not also be freshman.

I would be fine with excluding finalists. Make one with any ground rules you guys want. I will play.

Just for fun, Here's my LemonPie adapted, non-entry:
*All-American

125- Nick Suriano
133- Jaydin Eierman
141- Joey McKenna*
149- Davion Jeffries
157- Joe Smith*
165- Logan Massa
174- Bo Jordan*
184- Zahid Valencia
197- Brett Pfarr*
Hwt- Ty Walz*

Edited for rules.

 

[James P. Whitters III]

You have 2 mizzu and 2 tosu.

 

[LaxHawk174]

125- Nick Suriano (Penn State)
133- Kaid Brock (Okie State)
141- Joey McKenna* (Stanford)
149- Lavion Mayes* (Mizzou)
157- Michael Kemerer (Iowa)
165- Logan Massa (Michigan)
174- Bo Jordan* (Ohio State)
184- Zahid Valencia (Arizona State)
197- Brett Pfarr* (Minnesota)
285- Connor Medbery* (Wisconsin)

I believe this satisfies the criteria of No finalists, 5 AA's, 5 non AA's, and only 1 wrestler from each school.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

125 - Nick Suriano (PSU)
133 - Zane Richards* (ILL)
141 - Matt Kolodzik (PRI)
149 - Lavion Mayes* (MIZ)
157 - JoJo Smith* (OKST)
165 - Logan Massa (UM)
174 - BoJo* (OSU)
184 - Zahid Valencia (ASU)
197 - Marcus Harrington (ISU)
285 - Ty Walz* (VT)

 

[James P. Whitters III]

So the official rules are only one wrestler from each team. 5 or less returning AA. No wrestler who has ever been a finalist. So much for a guy to think about.
125- Dance* (Vtech)

141- McKenna*(stanford)
149- jordan (tosu)
157- Kemdog (Iowa)
