Tournament Pool Information

 

The pool system gives more wrestlers the chance to wrestle in more matches.  In our system, each division and weight group will be divided into 4 pools of wrestlers, seeded according to the attached criteria.  In a perfect scenario, we would have 4 pools of 4 wrestlers.  However, chances of a perfect scenario are not great, so we are planning on variations to meet the needs of the tournament. 

If 5 wrestlers, or less, are in a pool, standard 5-Man, 4-Man, 3-Man, and Round-Robin rules will be applied.  When there are more than 5 wrestlers in a pool, each wrestler will wrestle a minimum of three opponents in his pool.

Pool winners and runners-up will be determined by the following criteria, where applicable:

1)  Most wins

2) Head to Head

3) Total Pool Points (points as specified below)

7 pts – pin
6 pts – tech
5 pts – major
4 pts – decision
3 pts – getting decisioned
2 pts – getting majored
1 pt – getting teched
0 pts – getting pinned

4)  Most falls

5)  Least total fall time

6)  Most match points – Because (in pools with an odd number of competitors) some wrestlers get a 4th match, that final match points will not be counted.  Only the first 3 matches wrestled will be counted for advancement to the final rounds.

7)  Wrestle-off between two wrestlers with identical wins and points, with no head to head.

Wrestling will be on 8 full size mats for all Division V, High School matches.  Divisions 1 & 2 will wrestle on ¼ mats through the pools rounds, and Divisions 3 & 4 will wrestle on ½ mats through the pool rounds.  Divisions I, II, III, and IV will wrestle on ½ mats for the finals, with some full mats as numbers allow.
