I am a bit confused by the purpose of the League Tournament in Kansas. Having wrestled in Virginia, we had a District Tournament (like League) but that tournament actually determined who went to Regionals. Then of course your top 4 Regional placers went to State.

I understand that we could look at League as just another tournament that provides more mat time and indicates something about the best wrestlers in the League, but it seems to do no more than that. You are the best in your League...so...

I also see how it can result in wrestling the same kids again that you have already wrestled again and again.

Perhaps we could envision the future where "League" becomes a dual team competition format that crowns a League dual team champion. Then perhaps each League team champion could meet in a State duals competition.

I suspect that if I examined existing threads on this forum, I might find a similar suggestion or something like it. But I just thought I would throw it out there.


Take your own advice.
