4a brackets

Posted by 4a brackets on 2/16/2025, 3:15 pm

4a, 144 they have Izzy Acosta as the number 6 seed and some kid I've never heard of at number 2. I think they acually used the wrong trackwrestling profile for Acosta. It appears to be a kid named Israel Acosta out of Buda Texas!! Let the fun begin. That was the only glaring red flag I noticed, but I didn't look to hard. Anyone notice anything as crazy as this one.

I noticed a couple in 3a in the exact same predicament. It's pretty embarrassing that the people making these decisions don't know the difference of a couple of the top wrestlers in the state.

Coaches job to link their wrestlers to the correct track profile. A lot of lazy coaches out there.

The initial brackets for Mat Classic have always had some errors that they fix before the event, and that is normal. I am sure that is one reason they post them early so coaches can contact them about issues they find. I assume they will have some of those issues the first few days of the week but the usually get those fixed before the event begins.

It doesnt have anything to do with that track profile. He hasn't wrestled much this year. When you seed him, you have to compare him to everyone in the bracket. If he doesnt have head to head over them or common opponent wins, those that do, will be seeded ahead of him. Many of you out there couldn't explain this system, Id learn it before posting things that aren't true or don't make sense. PS that kid in Texas is tough.

They also factor in highest returning place from state the previous year amongst what you have mentioned.

When they reopened the brackets, just saw a bracket where a kid who smashed 3 kids in the top 6 of seeds, was ranked #24.

A kid he pinned in the first round is seeded #6.

I can't see how they're going to figure this out.

I just saw Acosta seeded #24??? How is this possible and he just beat Johnson at districts who is seeded #2?

I think Koyama and Acosta should be a finals match. No head to head in high school. Both returning state champs (138 vs 144). Would love to see them on opposite ends of the bracket. But I guess we will see it in the quarters instead.
