Sheridan Tournament

[Spladle1989]

Wrestlers have begun to appear under Floarena site for Sheridan......still no Lehigh wrestlers but Franklin Marshall, Army, Rutgers, Binghamton etc wrestlers listed on site.......

**** The question was asked previously as to whether or not Lehigh would be able to send more than one wrestler per weight. My guess would involve on how large the brackets are and whether they get filled up by the teams sending wrestlers. Inquiring minds want to know.

Seems to me someone, maybe gimp, said LU would have 3 per weight.

Is this a JV tournament minus the head-liners OR do we see the A -TEAMS?

Do we WRESTLE down to a winner, or is it POOL format?

Seems to me someone, maybe gimp, said LU would have 3 per weight.

I think Gimp said other teams could bring 14-16, But Lehigh could bring up to 28-30. Obviously no team score, or we would not be included in the team score. I think already saw two weights 14 guys. It looks like F+M is way over 15 guys. a couple others I think

He also implied full wrestlebacks to 3rd place, not just Semi losers. That would mean brackets restricted to 16. if exactly 16, there must be 2 guys who wrestle 6 bouts. If there are 17-20 there will likely be "losses" (not the right term) for 3rd + 5th due to no 7th bout.

So far I see entries from 4 EIWA teams F+M, Army, Brown, Bing, and non EIWA, Rutgers Indiana, Central Michigan.

I see this starts at 10am.
Info is a little hard to come by - nothing at all on the Lehigh Wrestling site.
Anyone have any idea how late this might run?
Will there be a break(s) during the day, or will this run straight through?
If it runs straight through, will there be any decent food available on-site, or just the usual crap?

Trying to plan the day - any info would be great, as there doesn't seem to be anything forthcoming from Lehigh. It also would be nice to see who will be competing for Lehigh.

I really like the first-semester in-house tournament. Hopefully, Pat continues to schedule/host this event in the future, but if there is any desire to attract spectators, a little hype would help.

Local schools should be closed for Christmas break. Are the local HS teams/local clubs invited as freebies- I say hopefully?

IMO if teams like Rutgers, Cornell, and some others don't send their A-TEAMS, which they probably won't,..it's WRESTLING, but nothing more than exposure for the red-shirts, back-ups, etc. Back in-the-day this tourney was a very competitive Event!

"Back in the day" I recall the Sheridan being a tournament of dual meets as opposed to individual weight classes. Regardless, I agree it is great to have "something" at home that can attract local fans and young wrestlers to Lehigh.

Def had its different formats but I def seem to recall
Individ tourney format before the dual meets. Feel like OU was there a couple times and a host of other decent teams. Anyway, hope this event gets a bit more pub. Seems the one area where the AD/school/ and yes the coaches could do a bit better at promotion.
