Nice job, Beau. It would be nice if he didn’t cause such stress for fans. 
@ClarkstonMark thanks for catching my mistake. I deleted your quote post only because I fixed the original and didn't want anyone to see the outdated one in the quote post and be confused. Appreciate it.
Bonus points are the preferred way to win, but advancing is key.

Brady with the 10-2 MAJOR!!! Nice way to kick off B1Gs.
We needed that from Berge. I am not able to currently watch so I appreciate the PBP fellas! I’m out to lunch in Philly for a 40th birthday celebration for a friend.
Micic getting all he can handle from Purdue’s #11 Filius. It’s done. Micic ate it
how is Kemerer a #4 seed? Odd
Good question. Gotta win 2nd round to get advancement point from 1st round bye. Also no bonus opportunity. But stay fresh!
Tom's explanation from yesterday:
The 6 PSU wrestlers having #1 or #2 seeds does hurt PSU in the team race. That's 6 matches where they receive byes in R1, and can't generate any bonus points. Pins, defaults, forfeits, or disqualifications generate 2 team points. TFs generate 1.5 team points IF the winner was awarded NF points during the match. Majors and TFs where the winner was not awarded NF points during the match generate 1 team point.
Wrestlers with a bye (the 6 PSUers) can earn one advancement point IF they win their match in the subsequent match.
Obviously, having a bye helps a wrestler avoid fatigue and injury, so there is a bonus in having a #1 or a #2 seed. It just hurts a bit in the team race.
Solution: have the PSU wrestlers win all their matches, and get bonus points in most of them.
Also gets you “free” step forward to the most points - high placement.

Okay guys, my lunch break worked out well, as I got to hear Ironhead call 3 PSU R1 matches. I’m done until Session 2. Let’s get Kerk thru his R1 match, and all the PSUers thru their quarterfinal matches.
I couldn’t tell live and they didn’t show a replay. Byers could also not see it to describe it. As he noted though there was no complaining from the PSU bench so whatever it was was probably legit.
See ya when you get back!
Which, speaking of, going to step out to let the dog run a bit. Be back shortly. If anyone has any questions do far feel free to leave them here.
DO quarters start right after first round, or do they start with consolation bouts?
