Ha, I hadn’t even noticed nerf’s picks. That was me just throwing my hands up in the air and trying a new strategy to ensure at least a couple of bonus points after repeatedly having picks screwed over by BS Match Notes and Average Officials.

Well, I'm home sick today, so I thought I'd get these out. 184 is out, since Brooks didn't go, but everything else stood. Not too shabby, @sluggo52, 25 out of 27 possible, with @champlion nipping at your heels.
Oh, boy, some of you are going to be kicking yourselves over one of 130 picks this season. @hlstone, you want to tell them? That's right, after stone being on the Steen bandwagon all season long and telling us that he's going to get it done, Gary finally does get it done, and it bit some of you right square in the tuches.
Acacia (ON3), a mainstay on the podium in most years, finishes 9th, missing the podium by the Steen pick. Seventh and eight place was a tie, after the first two tie-breakers, but by virtue of him running his keyboard more, PSUbluTX (Rivals) takes psueb52 (Rivals) by a hair. Eb was the dual season winner last year. Newcomer (I believe) @nikko57 (Rivals) finishes in the sixth spot, while @Gumby79 (Rivals) places 5th. GoIowaAwesome nemesis @johnstownsteel (Rivals) finished in the fourth spot.
In the third spot, @sneedram55 (Rivals) would have finished in the first loser spot, had he picked Steen. But, the most painful one of all, finishing 2nd, by virtue of picking Fischer over Steen, is @dicemen99 (Rivals). If only he could have pulled the trigger for Steen, dice could have overtaken this year's winner, and KYPSW Dual Season Champion, @jbeldingk (ON3).
Congratulations, jbeldingk, you have won bragging rights for a year!! Go tell all your friends, take your significant other out to dinner to celebrate, then go wait by your mailbox for your prize to arrive.
To everyone else, your participation trophies will be arriving about the same time as belding's prize. Don't let it end up in the trash with McDonough's medal. And, be on the lookout over the weekend for the rules for KYPSW B1G contest.

Talking about kicking one's self. There is a dude I know that would have had 275 points if he didn't DQ himself out of the Rider and Lehigh duals.Oh, boy, some of you are going to be kicking yourselves over one of 130 picks this season. @hlstone, you want to tell them?

Whoa, that’s brutal. Like maybe a first for this contest.Talking about kicking one's self. There is a dude I know that would have had 275 points if he didn't DQ himself out of the Rider and Lehigh duals.
My past advice aside, there’s only one way to go into the postseason now . . .
. . . Unforgiven.

Jbeldingk:
"I'd like to thank God, @pawrstlersinpa, and pa-wrestling.com for reminding me that Steen beat Fischer in the 2020 state finals. Bonus points win championships."

That's why I threw away the Lehigh and Rider matches. I wanted to hang with you Wayde.
You are a kind gentleman. Don't let anyone tell you different.
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: 9 @ 125, 133, 141,149, 184, 197, and 285; 10 @ 157; 8 @ 165 and 7 @ 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, 157 will have placement to 11th, 165 to 9th, and 174 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 11th place.
All predictions must be posted in this thread by 10:00 AM Eastern on Saturday, March 4th.
Placing Categories, By Weight Class
125, 133, 141, 149, 184, 197, 285: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, or “DNP
157: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, or “DNP
165: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, or “DNP”
174: 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 4th.
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!
