Impressive to get 32 points from only two wrestlers.  Guess I was lucky not to be any lower, with one stud and two duds.

[vveto]

Yeah...djwerd had a great pick with Houdashelt.  The Missouri wrestlers (Waters, Houdashelt, and Haynes) scored some nice points at the expense of Michigan.

vveto, what would the highest possible scoring lineup have been, for how many points?

With two active wrestlers on Saturday: Houdashelt (24) and C. Yohn (9) could have scored 33 points
With three active wrestlers on Saturday: Waters or Haynes (22), Shuster (12), and C. Yohn (9) could have scored 43 points
With four active wrestlers on Saturday: Waters or Haynes (22), Shuster (12), Zannetti 8, and C. Yohn (9) could have scored 51 points

Damn you, Jamal Parks.  I didn't think you had it in you. 

[Dewy167]

My thoughts exactly.   

[buckgrad80]

I wish to offer a word of thanks from all of us who participated to 'VVETO' for the idea, and putting in the time and effort to coordinate this little game for all of us  that participated.

It certainly piqued my interest and kept me watching the National Duals a little closer than I might have otherwise.


THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!

[n9531l]

I second that.

vveto, I'm curious whether the program you used for the scores was a custom job written for this event or a general application.
