[quote=shawnbudke]Will,
I understand your position on that and tend to agree with, my concern is that in order to promote the kids wrestling freestyle/greco we have to figure out a way so that a 1st grade or 2nd grade 70 lber doesn't end of wrestling some of the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade 70 lbers. There is a huge difference in the mental and physical ability. I am worried that we could lose some of those younger kids or scare them off from even trying if they knew they would have to wrestle kids that much older.
When you do block wrestling on track the program matches ages & weights the best it can with what it has to work with. The person running the program enters the max weight % allowed. You can pick from 1% to 10%, then after the program matches all the wrestlers it can you can move kids up and down a bracket or more to get all possible matches. As for the age difference you can move kids up or down in age brackets with a click of the mouse. The point I am trying to make is the wrestlers will not be just thrown on the bracket randomly. They will be placed with wrestlers as close to the age & weight as possible. Will said remove all age & weights. This is the best way. This would allow the program & operator to make the most competive brackets for all. I will assume that the person running the system would not allow say a 6&under 90 to wrestle a 12&under 90. This is a extreme example but you get the point.
