Format for Coverage of Today's Pac-12 Wrestling Championships

I have found through many years' experience that the best way to present coverage of wrestling championships is to break it down into easy-to-understand posts.  The best way to do that is to devote 10 separate posts to coverage of each Boise State wrestler.  As they advance through the tournament, updates will be added to that post.  


Any attempt to do otherwise only clutters the board and makes it tough to find out how each wrestler is doing.  Therefore, visit and update the main web site or page you are looking at often to get the most current information.  You will find that the action is fast and furious, because several matches are being contest simultaneously.


Because Boise State is hosting the Championships this year, I want fans from the other teams to be able to find out information about the tournament as it happens and in a clear, concise manner.  I will also have general posts for each weight classification, where fans from around the Pac-12 can find out the latest on how the Championships are going.  And, because all fans are interested in the team scores, I will have a Team Score Post at the top of the web site to feature the current team score.


It all gets underway at 11 this morning and I will be setting up the page until that time.  Remember to refresh constantly and you'll find that this is the best way to present the information.  Thank-you and here's to a successful and injury-free Pac-12 Championships in Boise!
