The reason you worry about who gets the bye is because you want the placement of byes to be uniform throughout the State. No one disagrees that the really good wrestler probably doesn't want a bye, however the decision shouldn't be in the wrestlers hands. There should be a uniform way to set the byes in a bracket and that should be followed. If a wrestler has the ability to say "I don't want a bye" then he is in effect manipulating the bracket. It may be time for the State Body to adopt some definite rules on seeding and the placement of byes (if in fact there are no definite rules in place)
