If someone actually knows which mat Carton and Pletcher are on, can they post it or do you want them to wait until the match is over before they post the mat assignment?
Good point! And if someone beats Nico in the room, are we allowed to say it or do we have to wait until it works its way through the rumor mill and Mineo posts it on Facebook?

The bickering in this thread is beyond annoying. A great day for PSU wrestlers in the competition, and we have all this other nonsense to wade through.

Folks are always welcome to post results, whether it is accompanied by PBP, or inserted into an edited post, or anything else. Any information, in any competition, that involves a PSU wrestler, a PSU recruit, or a NLWC wrestler, is always welcome.

There is absolutely no rule about waiting to post reactions, or a final score, until PBP is posted in a thread. We are fans of wrestling, and those that bring info about it should always be encouraged.

@SlipperyPete. when he does PBP, usually makes a post at the end of the 1st period (in folkstyle), and then updates that post after the subsequent periods. As such, his complete PBP often appears in a thread before any final scores for the match. I generally didn't follow that approach in the many years in which I did PBP, and would post my match PBP after the end of the match, and as such it would be after several posts that had the results at the end of a period, or even the final results.

There is no correct or incorrect approach in terms of how to post PBP, either for those active/following along in the thread during the competition, or those that read it hours later. It gets posted when the person that is giving of their time and knowledge gets to it.

This is probably a non-issue for 95% of those that frequent this board. For the other 5%, just chill out, and enjoy a place where we follow all aspects of PSU wrestling.
If you see the accounts that whined, aside from coastal, they were freshman accounts I can't recall seeing before much if at all. I think this thread was successfully trolled yesterday.

I personally don't ,/won't do Flo and enjoy the PBP. I'm not a big Freestyle fan. I pay for a big Big Ten + and ESPN+. If I wait a while until someone post a video of a match I still will watch it if the PBB dictates it .
I get more irritated with posters that just are sour about a majority of everything.

Just so I'm clear with everyone here, im.not changing a damn thing with the way I post in these match threads. If you guys want your pbps to be void of discussion then ask the person to do a pbp only thread. That should be the popular board etiquette anyway. This thread was started in April for Christ's sake. All of the sudden you want all of us watching the matches live as they are happening to stfu until your pbp is finished being posted? I'll be the prick here then, why the f*** is this thread being corrupted with your pbp posts that I shouldnt have to scroll over to get to people's thoughts and opinions of the match? See, I can be a whiny ***** too...
Actually, even though I'm not keeping score, you're really good at it!

Nah. You are in the “I know something you don’t know” category of posters. Many of us aren’t even on the forum when the matches are happening, let alone 10 minutes delayed.

there is absolutely 0.0 reason for you or anyone else to post the score knowing full well 1) other guys are putting bigtime effort into play by play, and 2) some guys enjoy the drama of the PbP.

you are just trying to be first, cuz that makes you special. Congrats. You are special.
Good Lord, you cannot be serious. It's been the same on here or Rivals for over 20 years. Wth are you even talking about. For years, many of us have provided scores just to keep folks informed who cannot watch the match.

Actually you can’t if you come in an hour after the match.

Do you realize that there is absolutely no downside to the “I gotta post the results first guy” doing the same thing? No downside other than he can’t be the “post first guy”.
First off, you're clueless. No one is trying to post first. 2 things are occurring and always have. People post current scoring for folks at work, are busy, or who don't have Flo. 2nd, they post to add context while the match is occurring, or after. Just like James's pin. No, no one is going to sit around and wait for pbp. That's insane and makes no sense.

Now that Penn State wrestling is King of the Hill we have a lot more fans. I said before that they wouldn't have made it through the Sunderland years but then again, yes they would have because they wouldn't have followed Penn State wrestling.

The argument is childish, from both sides. I am just basking in what Cael has done. A heck of a lot of knowledgeable wrestling fans here and that's what I care about, wrestling. eom.

If you come in after the match, the PBP is the first thread and is complete so you get to read it all the way through before you read any “spoilers.”

I’m smfh at this inane points some are coming up with.
No .. you come in and start scrolling down. You read discussion of upcoming match … You come to a post that says “Zain up next”.

And before this tourney the next post would be PbP and you could read it. This tourney the next post you would see is “what a pin by …”, then the post w PbP.

And no, there wasn’t any mid match “discussion” along the lines of “Zain might be gassing” or “ Spencer just looks too strong” or “Jayden can get to legs but not finish”. Lots of that great stuff posted between matches of course.

But in both the Zain match and the Jayden match … you can go look… it was some form of “up next” or “in the hole”… then a few posts about other matches… then 1 guy who had to post the result ASAP…then the PbP post. Then great discussion.

I put that 1 guy on ignore and maybe that will work. If not, I will accept that the need to be 30 seconds faster than everyone else is important.

Go create your own board and you can do it however you want.

So, your complaint is that you read the result before you could read the result? " Oh man, I read that zain wins before I read a longer post describing that zain won". Get off it.

*You just ensured that every single future thread about competition will have people posting results in real time by the way. Well done 🤣

This is precisely why people refresh the board after every post during NCAA's when they can't watch. It's always been this way.

He's got a valid complaint as others echo it as well. He's not alone and should be able to voice his complaint without others piling on. This isn't HR, for Christ sake.

If people are going to make a post before the match starts, then wait 7 minutes until the match is over to go back and edit that post with the result, meanwhile the pbp's have been going on for the past 7 minutes, then the easiest solution is to either Ignore that user, or have a dedicated PBP thread and a separate Discussion thread.

Another new poster who doesn’t actually contribute to the board but wants to come and complain. Get the **** out of here with that bs. I don’t really think I’m “a know it all poster” but there are definitely a few things I know that you didn’t and that’s the score of these matches as they were happening. One last thing before I just put you on ignore, the goat of pbp @SlipperyPete has never once bitched and moaned like you are. This is a forum to discuss wrestling and the matches that are happening at that moment which is what I and pretty much every other poster is doing. Either contribute or leave
is it raining yet? oh, don't tell me it until its done please...

Gotta be honest, I side with the people that are actually posting and contributing ideas and their thoughts while matches are going on over those that want to read the results an hour, 6 hours, a day... 3 days or even 6 months after the fact. It's a discussion board imo. Not an archive with results for those that want to get them when they decide they want to get them.
agreed - if you're not following live... what diff does it make? Go get the flo app and problem solved.

Or....Just spit balling here...Do what you want and ignore who you want.

I honestly don't understand the complaints. You're on here reading the result and are upset that you're reading the result because it's not in the format of pbp? What?

Wait. James got a pin? Thanks for spoiling it.

New service. For now, let’s call it Threadscouting (not married to the name). Clients like Snoop pay a fee to contact a “scout” prior to entering a probable pbp thread. The scout enters and locates all pbp posts (page and #) and delivers them to client. A service upgrade provides usernames to temporarily put on “ignore” before thread entry, as they have leaked a score :mad: prior to a pbp. Disclaimer states that “thread volatility may affect results.” Regardless of what scout is assigned, non-refundable fee checks are made payable to HikeNatParks.

Screw you I’ve been on the board for 30 years … different user name but I have literally posted since the days of the original McAndrew board.
Yeah 1996, alas this board was such a pain in the butt. A green chalk board out at The Mall, so frustrating when it rained. All of my posts had to be so much shorter, it was like twitter for cave men.
