OK.
But what other sport allows 2 teams or 2 entries by class from the same school. The intent of the end of season tournaments to let the cream of the crop rise to the top. If a coach has 2 studs at the same weight, what happened to one of them going up or down in weight, or to win the wrestle off.
Best team/program winner. Not necessarily so, just means schools who enter 28 wrestlers may have more but not always the better wrestlers. I still believe they have a system that fits their State's needs--and some of those needs are due to their low number of schools and they need double entries to even have a divisional tournament. 14 AA schools split into 2 divisions results in 2 division (ie regional) tournaments of 7 schools. Even with double entries they still are uneven to fill a 16 man bracket. And, of from those short brackets, they take 8 placersto state in order to again fill up a 16 man bracket. Now if Kansasns want more wrestlers at region and state, make them V/JV tournaments--thats basically what MT has done.
I propsed a Kansas system of 2 48 school claffications, with each classification split into 4 regionals of 12 schools. Kansas could adopt some of the Mt system to flesh out the 4 of 16 open positions in all weight classes.
