Currently in 2nd place. Hopefully the guys can keep winning and scoring team points.

I was trying to figure out how many are still in the winners' bracket for PSU, OhSU, OkSU, etc but I don't have time to dig too deep. Started to wade through FloWrestling but didn't find that info.

It is in the Team Standings from Flo Wrestling that I included above. The "CH" column is the winners' bracket and the "CONS" is Consolation. So it looks like spots 2-4 are going to come down to the wire.

I'll be a little slow and incomplete with updates until after dinner tonight.

Hey, no worries. We appreciate your good work.


As a wrestler, I have to admit, probably the biggest thing that keeps fans away (especially tournaments) is having to wait all day to see one match. (Yeah I know it's more than one match but...) It's the greatest sport out there, but not very fan friendly...
