Know Your Penn State Wrestlers (KYPSW) 2019-20

This is like seeing the first cardinal in spring.
I still call or text my Mom when i see the first robin each spring, because I remember her making such a big deal about it when I was growing up. No matter what bird you choose, I'm glad you like it.
Soooo, happy to help again, as much as you need, pa. Significant life milestone mid-season, so I’ll have more time.

KYPSW
Some of the newer members of the board probably saw this thread title pop up, and thought, "What in the heck is a KYPSW?" Well, it's time to find out.
KYPSW is a season-long contest that has been around since at least the 2013-14 season. That's as far back as I have data, but Roar or Slush can help me out with the actual start year. If I find time during the season, maybe I'll try to compile the results through the years.
The game itself takes a little skill, a little luck and a little perseverance. And, if I may, a little emotional control. I know some of you THINK PSU will blank several opponents this year. You WANT PSU to blank several opponents. But, is that emotion, rather than realism? Are you ready to put those predictions down on paper? We'll see, as we play KYPSW.
Just as a reminder, the top three last year were bdoncsecz, Eastern HWT and tom1973. If those usernames aren't familiar, that's because those guys primarily post on the 247 board. Two years ago, we started including both that board and this one in the contest. So, you three, your bragging rights officially end on 11/10/19. Get 'em in while you can.
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.

This is tom73 from Scout, but tomsc on BWI. For years I've done more posting on Scout, but can't seem to do so anymore, probably something having to do with the 247 connection. Anyway, here are my picks for Navy:
125: Teske Dec or Treaster Dec Schnupp
133: Bravo-Young MD Cobb or TF Allen
141: Lee MD Trybus or TF Long
149: Verkleeren TF or Gardner MD
157: Berge MD or Pipher Dec
165: Joseph MD Skidgel Fall Taylor
174: Hall MD
184: Rasheed Fall or Buckley Dec
197: Conel MD
285: Cassar Fall
125: Teske Dec or Treaster Dec Schnupp
133: Bravo-Young MD Cobb or TF Allen
141: Lee MD Trybus or TF Long
149: Verkleeren TF or Gardner MD
157: Berge MD or Pipher Dec
165: Joseph MD Skidgel Fall Taylor
174: Hall MD
184: Rasheed Fall or Buckley Dec
197: Conel MD
285: Cassar Fall
So, do you want to be known as tom73 or tomsc for KYPSW. Ah, nevermind. If you're going to ne posting your picks here, you're going to be tomsc.

I would be interested in seeing how Wrestlestat would do against all of us. If others are interested as well...would it be a problem for you if I posted a second one according to their projections? I know its not as if you dont already have enough to do already so if not its perfectly fine.
That would be perfect. Please put "Wrestlestat Predictions - Team Name" at the very top of the post. I've been meaning to do that, but my time is even more limited this year.I would be interested in seeing how Wrestlestat would do against all of us.
