If any of our guys lose, they will go against one of four guys left in the wrestlebacks. For all three, "our" side of the wrestlebacks looks a lot worse than the field for the other semifinal loser.

If Haught loses to Darmstadt, he's got a tough field to get in the 3/4 match.

#1 Moore
#5 Rasheed
#7 Mattiace
#14 Willcke

The top seed on the other side (Macchiavello/Conel) is Miklus. I guess when you get a bunch of upsets on the other side of the bracket, all the guys getting upset end up on your side waiting for you to lose.

If ZZ loses, he gets one of

#4 Renda (split their matches this year)
#7 Venz
#9 Dean
#12 Carr

The other side has #3 Preisch (who ZZ beat), #10, and two unseeded guys.

If McFadden loses, it's one of:

#4 Walsh
#6 Lewis (Rutgers)
#8 Rogers
#9 Marsteller

Like Jared, DMF would land on the bad side of the wrestlebacks. The other side has the 10, 11, 12, and 16 seeds.
