Perhaps it already been said, I think he has a better shot at team points and bonus points and an easier path to AA if he loses his pigtail and wrestles back through...
if he wins his first match and loses vs. Marinelli..
-he wrestles either Viruet (brown) or Bullard (nc state)
-he wins above he gets Flynn (miss)
-he wins above he gets ashworth (wyo) or white (neb)
-he wins above he gets either Wick or Marsteller

If he loses the pigtail...
- he gets Diblasi (gmu)
- he wins that he gets either navy or Rider
- he wins that he gets Fogarty (ndsu)
- he wins that he gets either Jarrell (Drex) or Cambell (oh state)
- he wins above he gets ashworth or white in the blood rd...

You are right.

 

[BigD_cowboy]

Does pigtail match wins receive the advancment point as well? Not arguing the easier route just not understanding exactly what "pigtail" means in terms of scoring, etc.?

 

[chasepollard]

I've said it numerous times! It's like they gave Bull an easy path to AA, but a hard path to win it.

 

[CowboyUp61]

Of course, both paths above assume no other upsets. I say win the pigtail, beat Marinelli, and go from there

Sometimes I wonder if we don't overthink or overstratigize things. I have simple mind and simple strategy ... want to win every match

Eh, beating Marinelli should be pretty easy.

Eh, beating Marinelli should be pretty easy.

like the saying goes, the only easy day was yesterday. Or maybe nothing good in life comes easy. Or if it is easy, everyone would do it.

I think Joseph is capable-not betting the house on it or anything, but holding out hope.

 

[Wrassler17]

Hmm, so the consolation side is an easier path than the championship side - what would Tom Ryan do?

Marinelli is having a great year and he is obviously favored. But I think Joe wins. Joe has Alex as a training partner and Ringer is like a souped up version of Marinelli - stronger with a better post single. I think that will be a factor.

i think its something cael might try one day... OSU would have gotten move points out of joe if the just forfeited the pigtail and took that time to rehydrate and recover in order to hit the consolation side had and go for bonus points..
