How does one correctly read those Newton brackets? What does all the info mean? For example:
Beasley, Campus (I GET THIS PART)
MajDec (I get this part also)
Then if I saw something like 12-4, after MajDec, then I would have thought/known that Beasley won his match 12-4.
Instead of the above mentioned "12-4 MD". I see this:
"2.0 + 1.0 + 9.0"
Well, what the heck does that mean?
Beasley won 9-1 (which would be a MD) but then what would the first set of numbers mean (2.0)?
Confused.
Can't wait to watch the finals tonight! Thanks a bunch if you can/would help me to understand these brackets correctly.
And great job with the website Newton! Thank you very much!!!
A smart guy like Dean should know in the semifinal match a winning wrestler earns advancement points and placement points along with the opportunity to earn bonus points. The 2.0 points are advancement points, the 1.0 point is a bonus point for major decision, and the 9.0 points are placement points for advancing to the finals.
The tournament software provides an option for placing tournament team scoring on the brackets and these brackets are provided to the coaches to eliminate any questions and/or confusion on tournament scoring for their respective teams.
Sorry to confuse you Dean.
