The Bennett / Fochtman match (220#) seems to have been one of the best QF matches ... ended up 3-2 URO !

Question: Does "URO" mean "Ultimate Run Out"? And is that the same things as "UTB" = "Ultimate Tie Breaker"?

Another question ... does a 3-2 score like that mean that there were no takedowns and both wrestlers got an escape point in regulation ... so regulation ended 1-1 ... and then both got an escape point in overtime ... so overtime ended 2-2 ... and then I think I saw on the livechat that Fochtman chose "down" for the 3rd OT period and so he must not have escaped ... giving the 3rd point to Bennett ... do I have that right?

Still learning about scoring in wrestling ...

Yes that is correct. They each had an escape in regulation. First overtime there was no takedowns. Fochtman scored an escape in the 2nd ot then Bennett got one in the 3rd OT. Which tied the score 2-2.then the final ot fochtman picked down and had to get out, which he didn't. So Bennett got one point for riding and won 3-2.

URO=Ultimate Ride Out (which is the same thing as UTO Ultimate Tie Breaker).....basically it went to the last 30sec period where you either hold him down--or get out to win.

WOW!! How about Somerset. I actually thought they were a favorite to win. They may have already wrestled themselves out of it though. They just looked real bad compared to what you would expect from them tonight.
