Some interesting news from the Bobcat Classic:I went back and tracked the last seven matches in each weight class (final eight wrestlers in each class) to see how big a factor competition had
to do with the tournament running longer than previous years. The last 98 matches featured 14 overtimes, 21 matches decided by one point, and 17
matches decided by 2 Pts (58 of the 98 matches).
There were only 11 falls! The competition was fantastic and I want to personally commend all of
the wrestlers and coaches that participated in this year's meet. You did a super job and provided
fans with some great wrestling! Next year we will
leave four mats out longer on Saturday to ensure
that we stay on time. Good luck the rest of the year and thanks again.
