Question for the freestyle experts: What are the yellow squares for? Are those how many pushouts or stalling points were awarded? Do you lose if you recieve 3?
They are called cautions in freestyle. And, yes you lose if you get 3.
Looks like its a break - but Mat B just finished match #163 and his will be #219.

Man I can’t wait to see Carr in Hilton.
It is the toughest tournament in the world for people of this age level. It is a solid predictor of NCAA and/or senior level success. Recruiting is never 100%, but i personally would tank making a junior world team (and cadet) higher than any other accomplishment a high schooler could have.
Last year, Mekhi Lewis won the junior world’s at Carr’s weight (74kg). Of course he went on to win NCAAs as a freshman by beating Marinelli and Vincenzo Joseph.
Other recent guys that have had success at junior worlds are AAs Mitch McKee, Ryan Deakin, Gable Steveson, Dayton Fix, Spencer Lee.
Full list of Americans who have won this tournament the last 8 years:
Kyle Snyder
Spencer Lee
Daton Fix
Mark Hall
Gable Steveson
Mekhi Lewis
Gomez made the team last year but was injured and couldn't compete. Before that, we haven't had anyone make the team since maybe Ryak Finch? He went 0-1.
Edit: Earl Hall also made it in 2012 and did not win a match
And before that, the last guys to make the team were Nate Gallick and Kurt Backes. Backes got 5th... Carr is guaranteed atleast that
