mlbruem 98 Report post Posted December 27, 2018 What do you think? Looking at the South Beach Duals and the 16 teams that are there this could really be a premier event if they made it a dual tournament with an overall champion. Would be a good chance they could sell the semi's and finals to a network as a national TV broadcast. 1 gallison reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichB 122 Report post Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) The coaches are probably there partly to avoid meatgrinders of Midlands and Scuffle. So I doubt if anyone wants 6 duals. So I think a 16 team tournament only makes sense if it is an everyone gets exactly 4 meets event. The other thing they would like to avoid is rematches of teams seen in season, so you want to avoid Lehigh-Cornell, Va-NC-NCS, Minn-Ind-Purdue-MSU etc, You might be able to avoid that with switches in the consolations (who really cares if a team finishes 12-13? But the championship needs to be true. Edited December 27, 2018 by RichB 1 mlbruem reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 2 Coaches that were instrumental in creating this event (Rob Koll & Brian Smith) have no desire to make this a bracketed/meat-grinder event. The purpose is/was to get their wrestlers matches during the Holiday break with the "flexibility" to dual opponents of THEIR choosing. And Florida is a nice late-December destination. This has become a nice Event in just a few years and serves the purpose for all participating Teams. 1 mlbruem reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could do basically what they originally intended just tweak it to produce a title match that could draw some national attention and good publicity for the sport. No one would have to wrestle more than the 4 duals in doing so. 1 Show_Me reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is hard to argue an event has national appeal when you can't even sell it in your own back yard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the 40th, we're looking to make it a competitive bracketed event. 2 Housebuye and mlbruem reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is an invalid comparison of events with loads of differences and appeal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This kind of talk threatens their easy power structures. 2 mlbruem and cjc007 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
