Also stay away from pickup basketball games. I think I remember him getting injured in a pickup game at the OTC.

Based on the latest roster (https://www.themat.com/news/2023/october/26/mota-pettis-golston-garrett-added-to-u-s-roster-for-pan-american-games) we are sending a rep to the Pan American Games at every Olympic weight in all three disciplines, except for 67 kg Greco. Do we really not have someone on the ladder we can send there?

I was wondering the same thing. If he was going to cut back down why not just go 74 kg since it's the Olympic weight?

I'm in favor of this, and I'd add that the minimum number of matches can't be against teammates. I'd also like to see medical forfeits count as losses and "ducks" - whether real or perceived - to be taken into consideration for seeding. i.e. if all other criteria is equal, wrestler A can't be seeded ahead of wrestler B just based on a previous year's result if wrestler A didn't wrestle in the dual.

I agree!
