There is not a conso bracket. How I am reading  this, you can only make it to the third place match if you make it to the semi-finals. Am I wrong on how I am reading the bracket?

It doesn't show it, but if you look at the schedule it includes consolation matches and 3rd place match. Not sure if they included all the rounds like a normal bracket or if the consolation side is shortened.

Right, but if you follow the matches, there is not a conso semi match scheduled which would only take place after the championship semis match. It looks like they are giving everyone two matches.

I see what you're saying now, I guess that's right. Interesting

If this is the case, Bradley or WC will not place. To me, it would be easier to start at 10:30 and have this additional round.

No, the 4 teams that make the podium will all get 3 matches.

Correct, but if you lose in the first round, it looks like you only get one more match and you cannot place.

Yeah, there's no way that's right. We all have to be overthinking it because there is no actual conso bracket posted. I'd bet they do a full conso bracket. Otherwise why even have the r1 losers wrestle?

I’d hope so, but based on the schedule and times, there is not room for the conso semis as the finals and third place and championship finals happen right after the champ semis

Why would anyone risk the consolation match? If it is only to get everyone two matches, then why would you risk injury or other things when you cannot advance as team?

The way it is going to work is the two teams that lose their first round match up will have the opportunity to wrestle each other right after their first match (same time as semi finals are going on). They cant not advance after that match so I do not see any team wanting to wrestle a dual after they have been eliminated from placement round with the possibility of getting injured or covid exposure.

It would've been no effort at all to add one more round and make it a double elimination. TSSAA strikes again.

100 percent agree. You will no doubt have the 3rd best team in the state not place because of the format and that is not right.
