The Potpourri Three - NCAA Tournament Trivia

- Start date
While DQ is a possibility there have only ever been 28 of those and none were a part of a mixed bag of five.
It was done three different ways by the three different wrestlers.
One had a DEC, MD, TF, PF Inj DFT.
One had a DEC, MD, TF, PF, BYE (due to opponent missing weight - OK, I played fast and loose here, so sue me).
But my favorite did it with what I like to call a natural. All matches were contested. He had DEC, MD, SD, TF, and PF.
The SD (superior decision) should date it for you as the combo of SD and TF was only possible for four years.
More DQ fun facts.
Mike Bauer of Oregon State was the only wrestler to ever win two NCAA tournament matches by DQ - once in 1979 and once in 1981.
That's pretty cool, I went back to the 80s for the SD but didn't spot it.
Regular decision- 3 team pts
Major dec- winning by 8 pts, 4 team pts
Superior dec- winning by 12 pts, 5 team pts
Prior to 1972 the only bonus was for pinfalls. In 1972 they added Superior Decision for wins by 10+ points. In 1976 they raised SD to 12+ and added in Major Decision for wins by 8-11. Then in 1985 they added tech falls for wins by 15+. Finally, in 1988 they eliminated the SD.
