Is the seeding criteria posted anywhere?

What are they going to do with these weights where no head to heads exist?

Oh damn.  So the RTC cards will not be used?

That... that's a wrench right?

Worse, the guidelines are ambiguous.

For example,

Quote

e. Seeding criteria to be used in rank order:
   i. Head-to-head matches from the April 2019 U.S. Open up to the event being
seeded.
   ii. Common opponents from the April 2019 U.S. Open up to the event being seeded.
   iii. Medalists at a UWW calendar event from the April 2019 U.S. Open up to the event
being seeded. (Majority vote will decide the higher seed if there are multiple
medalists)
   iv. Only United World Wrestling sanctioned events & USA Wrestling sanctioned
events that follow UWW rules will be counted for seeding purposes.

Why not explicitly call out that last head to head match controls?

I anticipate much acrimony in the seeding meeting.

Yes but "ONLY United World Wrestling sanctioned events & USA Wrestling sanctioned events that follow UWW rules will be counted for seeding purposes eliminates the RTC events yes?

I think you'd have to go through the RTC events one by one to see if they were actually USAW sanctioned or not.

Actually I remember seeing that the NLWC ones were listed on the USAW site and the HWC one was not.

If they are sanctioned will they be listed on their 'events' tab?

No idea.

Are there any USAW people in here?

What weight is Peterrr Christ Godvessel going?  Fyi if coming to town let me know. I work I'm Lincoln.  Saturday will be a mess.  Home football game and a Broadway tour both in vicinity. Expect to pay 40 bucks parking.  Best bet may be to uber to event or catch a shuttle. 95k people in downtown will make it nuts. I may skip Saturday.

A bit off topic but are the trials going to be streamed anywhere or available afterwards online?

I assume Flo has them since they signed that deal with UWW a year or so ago.

Anybody who isn't Pat Downey, is considered to be an upset.

I think Moore is quite a bit better than Hidlay. Also, if you think Hidlay is top 3, you've got him above Gadson and Myles Martin. You said upsets, so kudos to you for picking a good one.

I was wrong about Moore easily taking Hidlay. he had to dig deep to come up with a win.

You and me both.

I also thought Bradley was going to steamroll Zillmer as well.

[Gantry 1,872]

Zillmer putting up 5 points on Bradley was really impressive given how much size he was giving up. 

[bnwtwg 1,065]

Zillmer is a land mine for Parris… and possibly Gwiz for that matter.

I’m 100% serious. Not saying it will happen, but I wouldn’t be surprised in the least. Zillmer is a grown ass man that just beat Dom “all I do is push, shove and muscle because I don’t have any skills or cardio” Bradley at his own game.

You just described the, "Anti Parris."

Now that is a training table I can support. But that red cup feels like a missed opportunity.

Been sober for 11 years, so no booze for me. But I feasted like a beast!
