Why worry about who gets a bye? Do you really want your kid getting a bye into the finals, or any other time for that matter? Every match you wrestle makes you that much better, I know as a wrestler I specifically asked Coach Christner to make sure I didn't get a bye even thought I was seeded #1 at even tournament from the middle of my sophmore year on. And it is becuase I wanted to wrestle. As a coach I try not to give any of my kids byes if I can help it because they definatly need the experiance.
