can someone explain the world team trials to a novice wrestling fan? My last question was in regard to the RTC which Jaroslav Hasek explained perfectly. I am very knowledgeable on the NJ High School scene, but I know that is merely the tip of the iceberg on the bigger picture.

I bought two season tickets this year thanks to you guys and the information you bring to the table. Thank you.

I'll take a stab, since I'm here, but I'll admit, I'm relatively inexperienced on the world scene.

The U-23 world team trials that you are hearing about right now are United States trials to determine which U.S. wrestlers will represent the U.S. at the U-23 World Championships to be held in November in Poland. The U-23 stands for under 23, but the actual age constraints are 19-23, with exceptions for 18 year-olds who can get in, if their doctor and their mother sign waivers.

U-23 is a new wrestling classification. Before now, you would typically hear about the Junior World Championships (U-20) and the Senior World Championships. For each of those, there is also a U.S. team trial to determine the wrestlers who will represent the U.S.

Finally, there are a host of qualifying criteria that can be met in order to be allowed to enter the trial tournaments. For instance, Top 6 from Fargo, NCAA D1 All-American, Previous Junior World Team member, are just some of the qualifying criteria.

Thank you very much for clarifying!
 
First match for Richie Lewis will be on Sunday vs Grant Zamin

And in an interesting match Alex Mackal faces Daton Fix

Lewis's opponent , Zamin, appears to be an incoming freshman at Wisconsin- LaCrosse Lewis then will get the winner of Lavian Mayes vs Landon Knutsen.
Anthony Collica appears to be the top seed in this bracket.

I hope I’m wrong but Fix will be extremely tough to handle for almost anyone.

I think Fix will be hard to handle for everyone - at NCAAs, much less this tournament. That WNO match a few years ago with Suriano could have gone either way. Fix is top, top level with guys like Suriano, Spencer Lee and the like. I don't see Mackall staying with Fix at all. TF is most likely outcome.

As much as it pains me to agree with Matter (that was a joke). I would expect a first period TF.

If Lewis is going to be a serious contender this year, this upcoming match with Lavion Mayes will be one to watch the result of. On deck.
 
Remember how people made fun of me when I said a month ago that Richie would would win an NCAA crown this year?

Only outsiders. I sat next to Lewis at an RU baseball game and saw him squeezing hand grips to strengthen his fingers and hands the entire game, while at same time drinking from a gallon size jug of water. We chatted for about 20-30 minutes and this guy was ready to go right then and there, lol. From reading his background you know Richie Lewis is one intense dude.
 
You're comparing a free
Can you compare and contrast this tournament with the NCAA tournament? Are there any differences?
Does a blue book and a dozen number 2 pencils come with the questions? How long does the class have for the quiz?
