Holy poop! This is going to be an incredible weekend of wrestling! I like how they are structuring it with side A on night 1 and side B on night 2, and announcing a bunch of non-tournament matches. I question if on nights 1 and 2 we get first and second round matches or just first round.

I'm hoping Kyle and ZSJ advance to night 3 and get to face each other at some point in this tournament. Nothing in the first round really jumps out at me as must see but I like Busick vs. Roddy on paper, and Kyle vs. Gulak. This is by far the most interesting BOLA in recent memory because there's a ton of new faces with a bunch of big names and it's really hard to predict who could win it. Holy poop! This is going to be an incredible weekend of wrestling! I like how they are structuring it with side A on night 1 and side B on night 2, and announcing a bunch of non-tournament matches. I question if on nights 1 and 2 we get first and second round matches or just first round. When they did the tournament like this in 2006 and 2007, Nights 1/2 were the opening round and Night 3 had the rest of the tournament. Same structure as the Ted Petty and JT Lightning Invitationals.

That seems to be the way it works here. JT Lightning is 2 days with round 1 on day 1, but wasn't sure how this may work. Night 3 is going to be long with 6 quarterfinals, 3 semifinals and a 3-way finals, plus if they add non-tourney matches. No chance of 4 3-ways in the quarters is there?

I don't know for sure what Night 3 will be like this year, but in both 2006 and 2007 Night 3 for BOLA had 6 second round/quarter-finals matches, 3 semi-finals matches, a non-tournament multiple wrestler tag match, and then the finals for a total of 11 matches.
