Student season ticket sales

That said, I still think more consideration should have been made for seating to avoid one program taking up an in-demand venue when they just got their own.

It's maybe five hours a year on weekend afternoons and weeknights!

It was probably explained at the time, but I'm lazy, so: What was the deal with wrestling at Barton that one time last season (or was it the one before)?

Hmm I thought that was going to be Rumble and Tumble - a joint event with the gymnastics team - but that was apparently at Newman.

And I found it. Last year we hosted Buffalo for a dual meet at Barton on a Saturday, but used Barton because we also hosted a big multi-team, multi-mat event (the Big Red Invite) that required a lot more floor space the next day.

I assume it was easier to set up for the bigger event on Saturday before we faced Buffalo and have both events in Barton than the alternative.

The writer of Buffalo plus Big Red Invite story doesn't seem to distinguish between a "dual" and a "duel".

Maybe they know something we don't?

one of those homophones like cue and queue where the context of the latter is dangerously appropriate to those who don't already know which one to use.

Dual is correct in regards to wrestling. A dual meet is where two teams wrestle against each other, one person from each team per weight class, each match earns teams points, and a winning team is declared. That's opposed to a meet where individuals are entered in a bracketing system to decide a champion amongst many individuals but teams are not competing for a win.

You can also have double duals, which is four teams total, and each team wrestles two others in pre-determined matchups on the same day.

You do non want duels in wrestling. They do not need weapons. As my wrestling coach son said when I joked about doing ax throwing as a social event for the team, "That's an awful idea. They do enough damage to each other with their bare hands."

lol this is correct but without rereading the article I assumed it used duel incorrectly

It's a fair cop.

What puzzled me most about the writer's incompetence was that both words appear in the article multiple times.  Perhaps an editor didn't catch and charge all the duels.
