If that is the truth then there must be medicial evidence or studies that support a 5 match rule. Since USA Wrestling appears to be one of the most cautious organizations around and they allow over 5 matches at their sanctioned tournaments, I cannot believe there is evidence to support the idea that over 5 matches would increase injuries. And, if it was really based on stopping injuries, then they would not count forfeits towards the 5 match rules. Clearly this is about something else - like getting to go home early - disguised as concern for the kids. If that is KSHSAA's reasoning, then I am sure they would be glad to share the research to support it.
