Zain will win arbitration

[Keisha_Phillips 10]

Zain will win the arbitration hearing.  Many people will be upset.  He is not going to qualify the weight for the Olympics at worlds, many more people  will become upset in September.

Yianni doesn’t need help with his Olympics run.

Agreed, but people get real upset after the worlds before the olympics when we don't have weights qualified. 

[scribe 1,631]

No one is upset.

But will Pablo and Pete Wheeler get upset when you upstage them on the field?

You can put me on that list.  Who wouldn't be? Zain Retherford would be as well.

Most likely! Pablo is not use to losing, the ultimate GOAT.

What happens if Yianni wins the arbitration. I don’t even remember. Didn’t Yianni lose two matches straight ? Wouldn’t the best thing to be to redo the entire best out of three ?

 What do you mean by Yianni winning two matches straight?  

Zain won the first match of Final X. If Yianni wins arbitration-it doesn’t mean he won match 2, just that correct process wasn’t followed by the officials. So, as I understand it, the match would be considered something similar to a “no-contest”, rather than a win for Yianni.

And Yianni’s win at the Dogu has zero implications for the selection of the world team. 

Therefore, if Yianni wins the legal battle (which I don’t think will happen), it’s most likely he’ll start in an 0-1 hole. Zain will have to win 1 match to re-secure his spot, while Yianni will have to win 2 in a row.

Yianni can win in one of two ways: Match 2 is nullified and they wrestle again with Zain up 1 match to zero. Or they grant Yianni the win in match 2 (because the challenge was incorrectly granted) and they wrestle a rubber match. Either way is fine with me.

Zain doesn't have a good track record when it comes to wrestling-related hearings...

Yeah, but now he has Cael in his corner. I think things will go his way.

Zain could pull a world class anti hero move if he defaults tomorrow match. Think about it. He can claim he was injured by an American world team back up. This would effectively give him the Yasar gold medal, secure his spot on the team, and give tbar lots of cover.

Or it could mean he cannot wrestle the third Final X match after one is ordered.

There is no way they give Yianni the W in the 2nd match, they can’t change the outcome no matter what. They can rewrestle match 2 if that’s what they decide. So if Yianni wins he’ll have to win 2 to Zains 1.

Actually I think if the arbitration goes in Yianni’s favor, it will be to the tune that Yianni was the winner at the end of the second bout, and what went down was against procedural rules. It’s all about the brick throw. IF, if they go through it and decide in Yianni’s favor, it will be because either A) the brick throw was too late to review the sequence in high debate (and actually wasn’t thrown for that sequence, will get to that later) and therefore review null and void, 8-6 Yianni. Or 2)  brick was thrown in time for what it was intended for...the sequence at the very end. We know this is what they threw the brick for because when they first went to review, they went to THAT sequence. They decided call on the mat was correct, AND THEN went to the 2R/2B/2-2?? sequence. So even if they did everything right and reviewed that sequence because the three officials didn’t come to an agreement (which is a chair consult to call, not a coaches challenge), and came out of it 2 Zain...that’s 6-6, BUT there’s the failed challenge of the sequence at the end of the bout, which gives Yianni a point and makes it 7-6.

Having said that I’m not saying I think that is the way it’s going to go, or how it should go. Just saying if it does go Yianni’s way it has to be for one of those two reasons, and therefore could see the ruling being Yianni wins match two and we’re wrestling a third.

I believe OH is correct that results cannot be overturned.  I'm almost certain they would have to re-wrestle match 2.

Of course, if Zain's seriously injured, the subsequent chaos will make things much more interesting than an appeal that was likely going nowhere (and I say that as a Yianni fan).

Can you imagine the controversy if Zain had actually won the match (while still suffering the injury)?

It’s happened before. I don’t know if rules have since been put in place so that it can’t happen again so maybe...

 

But again I don’t think that’s going to happen, just seems like that’s the only basis it could be on if it did go Y’s way.

They cannot change the outcome of a match after it’s over. If they decide Yianni wins the arbitration the most they can do is rewrestle that 2nd match. They changed the rules after Kolat got screwed a few times.
