Grand View Open
- Thread starter LutherAce
- Start date
Correct. As of now Iowa is planning to send the redshirts to Grand View. Iowa added the Luther Open where they are planning on sending the starters.
Yup. It isn't a competition date for Iowa so no one wrestling there will be "attached."
Spooner, what qualifies a tournament as a competition date? Does the team/University lose anything by pulling out of an official competition tournament and going to an unofficial one?
If it is on the schedule the university pays all costs to attend--transportation, entry fees, lodging, meals, etc. and the coaching staff coaches the athletes throughout the day. The wrestlers compete "attached" as the U of I as a team is offically attending. For all other events, the costs are on the wrestler and they are competing on their own, "unattached" from the U of I. Not completely sure about your question but it sounds like they would be making a different tournament an official completion date.
I do not believe the number of wrestlers is a factor. I believe an entire team can be "unattached."
Also, I'm literally writing this from a Holiday Inn Express so I might not be completely accurate.
Ok. I believe there is a limited number to official events. Based on what you're saying, the school ultimately decides what is official by their level of participation. I thought maybe they would lose an official event if they elected to withdraw.
Teams can bring six wrestlers to an event attached and have it not count as a team date (but it does count as a date for those individuals, who would then have to sit out a team date). That said, this wouldn't even be an issue for Iowa, as they are leaving a team date on the table anyway (assuming the "TBD" for the last weekend is National Duals, which is exempt).
SHP - It's 17 events, correct? (That's minus B1G, NCAA's, NWCA All Star, National Duals, etc.)
OBTW, anyone know who will be competing this weekend?
I think so. Another little tidbit, if you have multiple dials on the same day, or duals on back to back days, I believe that only counts as 1 event.
Looks like I was a day early...today at 2:30.

16, with the first two that are on back to back dates counting as one date (be it CKLV, Midlands, Scuffle, Virginia Duals, or duals on back-to-back dates). National Duals, Conferences, NCAA's, and the All-Star Classic are exempt.
Does anyone know if there an admission fee? Looking forward to attending, just didn't see anything on the GV website.
My guess is maybe $5.00, but you should say you are a reporter for the DM Register and see if you get in free.
I heard a rumor that ISU's true freshmen will be in the Open division. That would mean no Wagner/Rathbun vs Ian Parker, or Happel vs Kanen Storr.
Hey, I know a guy that knows a guy, oh wait, never mind he's selling insurance now.
I don't understand why Iowa doesn't enter more of its better true frosh in the open division.
I've never been more excited for a non D1 tourney in my life.
Any way we can watch online?
