i really dont think it works. 2 kids that havent lost deserve the chance to meet in the finals no matter where they are from. and your right it is what it is. you have a kid that is 3-10 making it to the state tournament by lets say only having to win one match or maybe 0 matches and others have to win 3 or 4 to get there. now you tell me who is more deserving. i think its time for we as a state to look at some of the guys that keep bringing up combining 5 and 6a.
