Just haven't had the time this year to keep tabs on things... but maybe we can get this going again this year... Here are the rules from last year.. Teams should be up by start time of the tournament.

The Set-up:

1. Each person will choose 10 wrestlers, one for each weight class.
2. You may choose up to 3 wrestlers that are seeded in the top 3.
3. You may choose up to 2 wrestlers from a single team.
4. You may choose up to 3 wrestlers from the same conference.
5. You may choose a wildcard (11th wrestler) from anyconference.
*(You cannot break rule #2 when choosing your wildcard)(change)

Example: Say I choose 2 wrestlers from Minnesota; I can choose 1 additional wrestler from the big 10. I.e. Michigan. After I’ve picked a wrestler from each weight, for a total of 10, I choose a wrestler from Iowa as my wildcard. I didn't break rules #2 or #3. This will now give me a total of 11 wrestlers on my team and all will be counted in the team scoring.

Team Scoring:

Pin 2 pts
T. Fall 1.5 pts
Major 1 pt

Championship bracket 2 pts advancement
Consolation bracket 1 pt advancement

1st 20 points
2nd 16 points
3rd 12 points
4th 9 points
5th 7 points
6th 5 points
7th 3 points
8th 1 point

Bonus of 15 points for an unseeded wrestler on your team that makes All-American.

Contestants will need to post their respective team by the opening day of NCAA's Before the start of the tournament.

I mis-spelled Maryland and that's the reason for the edit. This is my team and I will live or die with it. Good luck to all you "lesser talented teams" out there. It's pure fun though isn't it?

Chief Storm. Go Luedke, go! I hope you can swim, because you could be in such deep water at your house that a rope around your waist won't help. Good luck and I hope you survive the next three days.
