Pigtails

[Cali_Nittany]

I thought this might be a semi-interesting subject since this was the first year of 32 v 33 seed pigtails. The results were as follows:

Seven of the ten 33 seeds defeated the 32 seed.

No 33 seeds advanced past the 1st Championship round (no surprise there).

Only two 33 seeds went 0-2

Three 33 seeds advanced in the wrestlebacks:
>Jacob Aven lost his pigtail but won twice in the wrestlebacks including an upset of #14 seed AJ Nevills.

>Joseph Smith (not your average 33 seed) advanced to the round of 16.

>Devin Kane wins the best 33 seed award, advancing to the round of 12 upsetting #7 Jacobe Smith along the way.

I think you need to extend to two more 35 instead of 33 and let the pig tail losers get a second match.

If your a kid from across the country you travel all that way for 1 match.

I like it however 1st place guys would probably like to know who they are wrestling.

Huh? Everyone gets a second match if they lose their first. Not sure why you think the pigtail losers don't get a match in the consys.

The pigtail loser does wrestle in the consi pigtail that precedes the first round of consolations
