B1G tournament scoring

Are they still doing this "zero points for being seeded 1 or 2" while giving everyone else who is seeded 3 and 4 free points? It's still absurd In my opinion.

No, they get points for advancement but lose any opportunity for bonus points. However, as explained in previous posts, it seldom if ever makes a difference with the one exception being when Michigan beat Penn State by 1.5 points...

EDIT: See below for a clarification that you have to win the 2nd round bout to get the advancement point for both... I meant that but they are much, much clearer

ADVANCEMENT Points: The #1 and #2 seeds will get a bye in the first round, with no ADVANCEMENT Points. If they win their second round bout, they get an extra ADVANCEMENT Point, so 2 total at that point. The number 3 and 4 seeds, in fact all other seeds, get one ADVANCEMENT Point for each bout won in the championship bracket.

BONUS Points: The #1 and #2 seeds miss out on the chance for a first round BONUS Point win, but I personally like the idea of one fewer bout on the weekend.

One caveat. They only get the advancement point for the bye if they win their next match. If a #1 loses in round 2 they do not get the advancement on the championship side, but if they win they get 2 points for advancing to the semi.

Edit: beat to the punch by @RoarLions1
