Did The Last Chance Open Just Get (Dresser) Dumped?

[wrestleknownothing]

I was looking at the new Selection Criteria Grid for this season and I noticed this addition:

Eligible Matches

Only results from nontraditional events that are registered in the NWCA Optimal Performance Calculator (OPC) system by September 1, and contested before January 1 of the respective academic year, shall be considered for selection and seeding for the Division I Wrestling Championships.

Additional Comments

This modification clarifies that the committee will not consider results from nontraditional matches that have become more common later in the season. This is consistent with the value the committee places on traditional formats, (dual meets, individual/dual advancement tournaments), and conference tournament participation to meet the selection criteria.

That sounds to me like it is aimed directly at The Last Chance Open and similar "tournaments".

Saying we aren't counting "extra" matches. Some universities are still wrestling extra matches after dual meets. And not allowing anyone to put together a last minute tournament.

This suggests it is about the last minute tournaments rather than the extra matches.

Looks like they're trying to squash that shady shit that ISU is famous for to get guys qualified.

It looks like it was in last years memo but said it must be considered a competition date for the team to be counted . This year they added it must be entered in track as an event before Sept 1 and be wrestled by Jan 1

Here is last years memo
