Info
Started at 4:00 pm. Went two deep on two mats for the first round with 22 bouts to avoid go time issues. Finished at 7:49 pm on bout 95 which was end of Consi Rd. 2. 230 total bouts in this tournament with 129 wrestlers from 8 teams.
Changed all placement matches (3rd, 5th, True 4th) to 2-2-2 for time. Morning session ran Semi matches on both mats. Manually staged them since they wanted to wait until both semi matches for the weight was done before starting the next set of matches. I voiced concern about having two consi rounds back to back for wait time. This was what the referees said they preferred. A discussion occurred after that they should have let us do it our way. The coaches said to leave the bouts loaded as is but do not hold the matches until the other match was completed, rather let them roll through.
Took a 15 minute break before the consi semi`s. Held a face-off for 3rd and 5th then ran those bouts. Determined there were 6 true 4th. (The system assumes winners if they had met but if the 5th placer wrestled and beat the person in a previous bout I needed to reset the bout to clear the assumption.)
Held a 1st place face-off and got bio`s from the. Started 1st place matches. Had 6 true 4ths but due to go times waited until 3:45 p.m. and ran them on mat 2 while 1st place matches were running on mat 1.
Print brackets - the weight class didn`t turn green once completed because there is a hidden 7th and 8th place bout. Had to go into the bracket where it is revisable to force byes in the 7th place bout. Those 7th place bouts were not in the que. Last bout ended with an injury at 5:16 pm.
Podium for all weight classes were done at the end, however, the 4th place award went to the person who lost 3rd, regardless of the true 4th results. The ones who were 5th but won true 4th were given the 5th place ribbon but announced as `going to state. OW`s were voted on but tie breaker was most pins in least time. Lastly, team awards were given for 1st and 2nd.
