Love it, but can we get some acronym definition?  Based on the other thread, I'm assuming:
WBF = Win By Fall
LBF = Loss By Fall

TK?  X?

X seemed to indicate that the wrestler will not be partaking in that round because he has already been eliminated (in the main draw) or has yet to relegated to the wrestlebacks.  TK is likely the ironic journalistic abbreviation of "To Come."

[ugarte]

WBF and LBF are correct.
"TK" is editorial shorthand for "to come"
X means they lost in the previous round and nothing else is coming.
- means that the wrestler is still in the championship bracket.

Let's hope for more dashes and fewer x's.

[Al DeFlorio]

Leen advances in round 2, 4-3.  Hooker beaten and on to wrestlebacks.

Yikes!  In his first match, Arnone beats the #3 seed with a takedown in the final seconds, 3-1.  Arnone now gets #6 Jake Varner of Iowa State.

Rinaldi moves on with a 4-1 win over Herbst of Wisconsin.  Good news is that #1 seed Max Askren is beaten in his first wrestleback match and is now out of the tournament, so, if Rinaldi loses the QFs to Davis, he will not be greeted by Askren in the wrestlebacks.  Although, given Max's performance, maybe that's too bad.

Four still in the championship bracket:  Nick, Leen, Arnone, Rinaldi.

Frey advances in wrestleback round 1 nipping Ruggirello of Hofstra, 3-2.  Frey will get #8 McCormick of Missouri in next wrestleback.

Penn's Eveleth, who upset Nickerson in the EIWA finals, goes two and out at the NCAAs.  Penn's Matt Dragon also two and out.

Anceravage puts Old Dominion's Pullano right to his back and gets the fall with a headlock in his first wrestleback.

Looks like Hooker will get #8 Stolpinski of Navy, who was upset in round 1, in his first wrestleback.

Hammond apparently lost his wrestleback.  Intermat shows the score as 34(!)-0 but I think that's a mistake and should be 4-0.  Guess his torn MCL was bothering him.

125: 4) Troy Nickerson-Cornell-So (EIWA - 2nd)
133: 3) Adam Frey-Cornell-Fr (EIWA - 2nd)
149: 2) Jordan Leen-Cornell-So (EIWA - 1st)
165: Steve Anceravage-Cornell-So (EIWA - 1st)
174: 16) Joey Hooker-Cornell-Sr (EIWA - 4th)

Those are not seeds, however, but the projections/educated guesses of the website KenP pulled that from. The seeded wrestlers for Cornell are Nickerson (2), Frey (3), Leen (4), Anceravage ( and Rinaldi (5).

[Al DeFlorio]

Nickerson advances to the semifinals with a 2-0 decision over Indiana's Escobedo.  No takedowns in the match.

[quote Al DeFlorio]Nickerson advances to the semifinals with a 2-0 decision over Indiana's Escobedo.  No takedowns in the match.[/quote]Kind of a funny match. No points in the first. Nickerson held his opponent down the entire second and escaped in the third. So the final score was all about riding, not stand-up wrestling. In theory, Nickerson catches a break as the 6 seed upset the 3 in the QF and will face Nickerson in the semis. Not a good tournament for 3 seeds, as far as I can tell.

[ugarte]

Adam Frey did not make weight at 133 and forfeits. Ugh.

[Al DeFlorio]

[quote ugarte]Adam Frey did not make weight at 133 and forfeits. Ugh.[/quote]
Sucks.  Wonder at what weight he'll wrestle next year.  Maybe 149 with Leen moving up?

[Al DeFlorio]

I believe the reason Frey was always so out of gas was the drastic weight-cutting he had to do.  Not sure why they didn't have him at 141 this year.  With another year of maturing of his bod, 141 might be a tough cut for him next year.  Plus they have this hot-shot 133 pounder who supposedly is coming next year after backing out of his commitment to Lehigh this past August.  Hard to say what next year will bring.  You're right:  Troy might be a tough fit for 125 next year, a la Travis Lee moving up to 133.

[ugarte]

Ugh again. Things aren't going well for Leen, as he is down 6-2 in the second. C'mon Jordan...

[Al DeFlorio]

It's over.  Leen with an early takedown but two Gillespie reversals knock him out.

Now it's up to Arnone and Rinaldi--both with tough matchups.
