whatever happened to Brandon Stavola, t.j Hepburn, and Joey Martin?

So, as everyone awaits a decision from DPH, perhaps the following could be considered if a short March dual-only season is permitted. If able to conduct a month of dual meets, would encourage piloting a few proposals, most of which are designed to reduce forfeits (with no individually bracketed events, there will be significantly reduced match opportunities). These include: locked line-ups at intros (no ducking), 12 weight classes (109, 116, 123, 130, 137, 144, 152, 162, 174, 190, 215 and 285), matside weigh-ins (would eliminate weight certification for this short season, as wrestlers would need to be able to compete immediately at that walking weight, with 2 pounds for uniform, shoes, headgear and 1 pound for Jan wt allowance), and lastly, to eliminate team ties, utilize Margin of Victory Scoring, where every point counts (pins still 6, TF still 5...but all other wins from 3.1 to 4.4, as would be 3 pts plus win margin/10, ie 7-3 win is 3.4, while 11-1 is 4.0 etc).
