Always look forward to this, as well as putting together fantasy teams for the Cauliflower Classic. Can hardly wait…Thanks!

 

[sdvike]

Are you using the preseeds for seeding purposes?

Are you using the preseeds for seeding purposes?

No. Final seeding. The preseeds rarely change much. Editing on entries can be done up to 10 pm Central time Friday.

Nobody has laid out their guesses yet? I usually like to crib off of someone else's format.

Just an FYI. It would not be possible for Ayala and Shawver to both make the finals on the same side of the bracket.

I have 16 guys seeded 1&2 in the top 3. Where is the 17th? Same for Gobblin.
Have you lost a hand or a foot recently?

 

[The-Dude-Abides]

I have 16 guys seeded 1&2. Where is the 17th?

I believe it's eight max each for #1 and #2 seeds, not 16 total. I messed up too and had a #1 beating #5 in the finals. It's hard to keep track of Twister's damn logic puzzle!🧐

Well f*** me. Can we make changes? Or are we DQ’d?

I would just post your update. Technically it’s past the deadline, but wrestling hasn’t started yet.

 

[texas twister]

I have 16 guys seeded 1&2 in the top 3. Where is the 17th? Same for Gobblin.
Have you lost a hand or a foot recently?

"4. Only 8 #1 and only 8 #2 seeds can be selected top 3"
It says only "8 #1". You have 9 #1's. The combined number of 16 is not given as an option.

 

[The-Dude-Abides]

Tricky one with this year's field. $100 to HWC if this is the winner (and I will also steal $10,000, a few pairs of shoes, and four windows from NLWC).

Edit: If allowed before wrestling starts, I messed up 33 with a 1 and 5 in the finals. I'd switch out Shawver (5) for Davis (4) in second.

Edit again to add: I am an idiot and still made an impossible finals match. Numbers is hard.

 

[texas twister]

Make your changes VERY QUICKLY. Any wrestler that busted weight cannot be changed.

 

[Inthecircle]

Make your changes VERY QUICKLY. Any wrestler that busted weight cannot be changed.

I edited my picks.
Moved (1) Ramos out of top 3 replaced him with (2) Byrd at 133. 125 Cruz IA to finish 3rd

 

[Gobblin]

I changed mine…. Not sure if I’m good now or not to be honest. Lol. Don’t matter. Go Hawks.

 

[texas twister]

I just got done watching the finals. I was busy. I will tabulate the scores tomorrow night.
