Each team will have a window of time to enter your athletes and their records. They will then be seeded into 4 pools of 5-6 wrestlers based on the criteria that we have entered with Trackwrestling. The athletes will wrestle all opponent?s in their pool. At the conclusion of pool wrestling the top two wrestlers from each pool will advance to the championship bracket. The wrestlers with the next two best records (#3 and #4) from their pool will enter into the Consolation 8-man bracket. The last wrestlers #5 and #6 will be entered in a participant 8-man bracket. Entering and Seeding of Wrestler: Coaches will have from 01/14/2018 at 09:01 a.m. until 01/19/2018 at 08:00 a.m. to login and indicate the other wrestlers in the bracket that their wrestler has beaten. The wrestlers will first be placed in order using the seeding criteria above, then any wrestler that has beaten a wrestler within 1 slot(s) above him and has not lost to any wrestler below the wrestler will get moved ahead of the wrestler he/she beat. If a wrestler has beaten a wrestler but lost to another wrestler below the wrestler he/she beat, that wrestler will not be moved. Seeding Criteria: Head to Head Season Record Winning Percentage State Qualifier or Place in 2017 Hickman Invitational Champion 2017 Team scoring: Will be based on the activity points earned throughout the Pool rounds, Championship and Consolation Semi-finals rounds as well as the Placement points.
