Following the tournament the committee has a number of criteria items that will see if a person will get placed on the board for possible selection. From there the committee will review updated RPI and winning percentage along with wins against wrestlers receiving automatic qualification, head to head matches amongst wrestlers up for consideration, common opponents, last ten matches and placement at their qualifying event will be reviewed as well.
The remaining spots will be handpicked by the committe to ensure there is 33 per field. |
Thanks for the explanations. It looks like they've gotten a good balance of keeping conference tourney's important, while leaving room to ensure that more of the best 33 in each weight make it into the bracket.
