Introduction

What is Wrestling Nerd?

Wrestling Nerd is computer software that assists in the management of wrestling tournaments. A user enters information like wrestler names, team names, and match results on a bracket on the screen. The software, in turn, automatically calculates team scores; determines fast fall leaders; prints bouts, brackets, scores, and place winners; exports results to common formats; and more. In effect, Wrestling Nerd tries to reduce some of the burden a person must shoulder to successfully run a large tournament.
