How long did it take you to get used to Bartlett's style?
How on God's green earth can Pete do what he's doing. I have enough trouble just bouncing from mat to mat to watch let alone pbp. Amazing.
Looked to me like Cael wanted Aaron to get work on his feet. Didn't seem interested in putting on his punishing ride . Well...that is when the back points didn't fall in his lap from on his feet.
you can view up to 4 bouts simultaneously. Look for 3 icons in upper right of screen to add more mats
Lemon pie always has a plan

This thing might be over by the time the 1 o clock NFL games start. 
I have a theory. Pete is actually here from the future. So he types it all out before hand. Copy and paste each bout.
fyi, former Rutger asst coach Donny Pritzlaff is now Columbia head coach; Sebastian Rivera is asst coach.

I forget with this tournament. Do they roll right through or is there a break before the finals? I've only seen the start time posted for the event.This thing might be over by the time the 1 o clock NFL games start.
I'd assum there is a break. It ended around 4-430 last year.
Slept in a little bit today, just now catching up on here and on with Byers now. Thanks for the PBP!
Cale must have said, takedowns, I want takedowns from all of you!!!

That's a great theory. I was leaning towards Pete having an alter ego. Has anyone ever seen Pete and Doctor Octopus (Doc Ock) in the same room before?

Flo could get thru national duals without issues, but not an event as big as the Black Knight Invitational
Flo taking a couple minutes to replenish their debit card.
Flynn should atleast be a national qualifier. Put some respect on Nate Desmond
Listening to Jeff Byers, aka Ironhead, is such a treat in a tournament. Reminds me of Christmas morning when my kids would be opening gifts and squealing in joy with their gifts. Ironhead is expressing excitement of a takedown and all of a sudden someone is getting back points on the adjacent mat. His voice rises and you feel as though you are right there and then the fall is called. Sheer delight.
