Without a doubt the, only Ohio tournament tougher than this one would be Brecksville. Twenty years ago, it was probably the MIT.

MBC has historically not had anything other than straight seeding criteria.

From what I hear it is supposed to seed by strictly Brecksville in Iron Man placement at least that’s what our coach said they are not doing any type of Districk/state placement for seeding or records so to be seeded here will be crazy!!!!
So, you're saying that if a wrester didn't wrestle at either Iron Man or Brecksville that they couldn't be seeded? Ridiculous?

Used to go to this tournament in HS and it was always very tough. Seems like its only gotten tougher since then. Every year it seems like State qualifiers and sometimes even state placers can't even crack the podium here!

Ok so maybe our coach told wrong he just said unfortunately none of our kids will seed here cause they are only seeding on Ironman and brecksville!! I’m glad he’s wrong cause that would make a ton of kids that should be on different ends could end up being on the same!!! Thanks for clarifying!!
Here is the link to the seeding criteria for this tournament
Were any of these teams at Beast of the East? I do know Wadsworth was at Powerade.

And I apologize to keep asking questions lol it just takes me to the track page. Where do I see the criteria? That way I can show the other parents?
Go into Maumee Bay Classic event then click on Information on the top of the page and then click on seeding criteria.
Thanks to Borofan for the write up. So many great match ups. Hard to predict several weights, unless it is a Blaze.
Neitenbach is on fire this year (like his team) recently bumping up to 190 for the Gorman and beat #3 Max Ray in a tight OT finals match.
I haven't seen Liber or DeLano wrestle. Who do you got at 190?
From Borofan:
190
Division 1
2. Andrew Liber (Toledo St. Francis) Senior
Division 2
2. Edward Neitenbach (Medina Buckeye) Junior
3. Max Ray (Tiffin Columbian) Senior
Division 3
1. Abe DeLano (Ayersville) Junior

Liber wins. Beat delano last year too. Might be the deepest i remember this tournament being, wow
Pretty impressive weight class. Wondering if you might be missing someone.
From what I saw at the JC Gorman finals Ray was winning the match then Neitenbach came on strong late then won it it OT. Kudos to Neitenbach, but Ray can flip that result.
Who do I got winning 190? Somebody in your list. Neitenbach because it looks like he has another gear he uses in case of emergency.
All I know is that I’ve never seen this tournament stacked with hammers across all weights like this before.
What other weights do you guys think is a tossup?

Denkins is the obvious favorite but im really interested in 150, especially if brodie dominique doesnt go down to 144 yet.
Also just saw this event is gonna be on flow!

click the link. Click Events, click Search events, under search event name type in Maumee. Should be the top one on the list. enter event. Click on Information then click on Seeding Criteria.
@190 I would say this comes down to Liber, Neitenbach and Ray. The Neitenbach / Ray match went to ot at Gorman, however there were 2 stoppages where Ray was in on shots that could’ve kept the match from going to ot possibly. That match could very well go to Ray, that’s a great matchup again that could very well happen again this weekend. I don’t think Borofan has the best matchup correct at this weight, Delano loses to all three of the aforementioned in this weight class in my opinion, take that for what it’s worth just my opinion, pretty sure Liber beat him last year by TF. This isn’t even including Grimm who will also be in the mix as a top 4 returning state placer. Should make for some great matches between them that I’m looking fwd to watching.
Not to say there won't be some high-quality wrestling from the quarters to the finals but having 57-58 teams is rather deceiving. 106 and 113 will only have 36/33 wrestlers respectively. The most participants would be found at 132 (47) and 157 (45). Not sure if it's attributed to a large number of Div 3 programs. Regardless, I see that many of the wrestlers representing the Div 3 programs are true hammers.

Some teams are bringing partial lineups. Not unusual. The average is 40 wrestlers per weight which is a big increase from previous years. 2022 & 2020 averaged around 30 per weight. Going to be a great event!

I have to say the competition will be a couple of degrees stronger than the Top Gun. I don't think I've ever seen a weaker Dies tournament.
