But the criteria for the computer is developed by a panel
of wrestling people. Coaches panel and RPI - ranking panel index all year long. They have seeding meetings at all the qualifier conference and regionals leading up to nationals as well. They also have seeding meetings at some of the big collegiate tournaments (Scuffle, Midlands, Reno, Duals etc.) throughout the year. Some of those events are definitely considered in the computer program. It is all a logical process - but sometimes it just comes down to what wrestler is peeking at the right time in the final outcome of the tournament results.
