I am going to go with the offensive pin being the dumbest rule there is...jmo.
It is dumb that schools who invite 16 teams for a one day event haven't figured out the solution to avoid what happened. You use the scrambles format. Four pools of four. There are NO BYES!! If a team doesn't bring a wrestler it is an OPEN and scored as a forfiet, with full bonus points. The top wrestler in each pool advances to the championship bracket of four. The next four to a bracket to determine 5th - 8th. Mat space and time provided you can wrestle to sixteenth place and give every kid 5 matches without the risk of ANY kid having a sixth match. More mat time for everyone! Five matches for 3 KSHSAA points is a good deal. You are going to be hard pressed to argue against this format especially in light of the five match limit rule.
