It's almost that time. World Team Trials are this Saturday, June 10th. Even though the brackets are small, it is one of the more fun tournaments to break down matchups for.

Below are the wrestlers who have earned byes to the finals. Stieber earned his by winning a world title in December, while Cox and Snyder hold byes by virtue of being Olympic medalists. Note, Jordan Oliver won the U.S. Open but has withdrawn from the trials.

57kg: Tony Ramos, Sunkist Kids WC/Tar Heel WC
61kg: Logan Stieber, Titan Mercury WC/Ohio RTC
70kg: James Green, Titan Mercury/NWTC
74kg: Jordan Burroughs, Sunkist Kids/NWTC
86kg: J'den Cox, Titan Mercury/Missouri Wrestling Foundation
97kg: Kyle Snyder, Titan Mercury/Ohio RTC
125kg: Nick Gwiazdowski, Titan Mercury/Wolfpack WC

So the seven wrestlers above will be sitting out until Saturday night, waiting to see who they will face in the best-of-three finals. Remember, seeding is done by the coaches of the respective clubs who will be competing this weekend. Seeding criteria can be found here.

The fields vary in size depending upon who has qualified, and not everyone who has qualified is expected to compete. Finally, please be aware that you can wrestle at any weight as long as you are qualified. For example, an athlete who placed at 57kg at the Open could bump to 61kg for Lincoln.

Without further ado, here are our projected seeds for each weight.
