beeson makes a very good point. everyone needs to think about this real hard. then quit worrying about some one being left out.
75% less kids wrestling? do you really want to kill the sport? if you don't think that changing the system would cause kids to lose interest you are absolutely wrong. i know it's hard for a kid to have a good record, be maybe top 6 in his "classification", and be at home. think for a second, if you combined everyone, all those losing record kids would quit, but so would the rest of the kids who weren't in the upper echelon. look at the rosters of teams now, many can't feild a full team. you take away any chance of going to state from 75% of them, and this sport is done. one last thing, look real hard at the brackets 321a through 6a and add up the top 16. would the kids who got left out, make it state when the "playing feild is level"? the answer is no. the system now gives alot of kids something to wrestle for, without it they will probably go to the parking lot and hang with the ropers and the dopers.
