Latest Update From the Coaches
Oregon State Wrestling Fans,
The
Pac-12 Championship Wrestling Tournament will be hosted by Oregon State
University this coming Sunday, February 25 in Gill Coliseum.
Pac-12's This Sunday
The
tournament takes place all day, starting in the morning and concluding
Sunday evening. With only five teams, Oregon State, Arizona State, Cal
Poly, Cal State Bakersfield and Stanford, it is only a one day
tournament.
Pac-12 Sessions
There will be two main sessions.
Session I begins at 10:30, doors open at 9:30. The conclusion of Session I is expected to be around 1:00. Gill will be cleared at the end of the first session. Then a break provides an opportunity for lunch.
Session II begins at 4:00, with doors opening an hour before at 3:00. I was previously told it was 3:30, but the ticket office says 4:00. When I find out for sure, I will let you know. A short break of about 15 minutes is planned before the beginning of the finals. The finals will be televised by Pac-12 TV, set to begin at 6:00 pm.
Pac-12 Website
For all the information you need, check the Pac-12 website - the official web page of the tournament.
More information will be added as the tournament gets closer, but there
are a few things there already. You can find links for buying tickets
or getting directions to Gill, for example.
Other Useful Links
If you can't make it to Corvallis, you can follow along on TrackWrestling. Track also always has brackets once the information has come out. Not yet.
Finals on television - Pac-12 TV at 6:00 pm

Barometer article on Greg Strobel -
a former Beaver NCAA champion who will be attending the tournament.Welcome home, Greg! Thanks to Craig Scharer for sending this link!
Brackets
Brackets are not out yet. Seeding
is usually done the night before and then brackets are produced. You
should be able to find them several places on-line - TrackWrestling, the
Pac-12 tournament page, Oregon State's article about the tournament (not written yet).
You might want to print out a copy to bring along if you like to fill them out. There is sometimes a rush trying to get them out at the beginning.
NCAA Allotments
In
order to advance to the next step beyond the Pac-12's, wrestlers must
be invited to the NCAA's. Those invitations are divided among the NCAA
Div 1 Conferences, generally based on how wrestlers are ranked. Each
weight class is assigned an allotment and wrestlers are admitted to the
NCAA's based on how they place in their conference tournaments and how
many allotments that conference has. Once those assignments have been
filled there are a certain number of wild cards which are announced
later.
The allotments have been made. Read all about them here:
Thanks to Craig Scharer for sending those links!
Pac-12 Pizza For "The FALL"
FALL
Club members, don't forget, pizza and snacks will be provided for those
of who you signed up by RSVP. Lunch will be served at the end of
Session 1 in Reser Stadium at the Club level - third floor. Don't forget
to wear your "FALL" ID badge for your free admission. Your guests are welcome for $5 entrance fee.
Odds & Ends
Craig Scharer, who sent many of the links included here, has been busy reading up on wrestling on-line. He found another interesting article
out of Eugene. It has the story of a young woman who is a student at
the U of O and now the President of the Wrestling Club team at the U of
O. Thanks, Craig!
