OK. Have to do some serious a mental drills on a regional and state organizatiion using those numbers. Would probably be best if Coach P would come back online and explain his suggestion on how to organize a 96 and a 128 classification that is fair, approximately, to all wrestlers. Lot of permutations of how to get to a regional and state organizational plan.
96 big schools: possible twelve 8 school regions, or eight 12 regions, or six 16 school regions, or four 24 school regions, or two 48 school regions. Then how do you get an even number of wrestler from each region to state. Bigger question; how do you mollify wrestlers, coaches, fans, KSHSAA on the reduced/lost number of state tournament slots? Previously three 16 bracket state tournaments (3 X 16 qualifers=48 qualifers per weight). Proposed: one 16 bracket tournament with 16 qualifers). Net loss of 32 slots per weight class. Big change!!!
Similar problem with the 128 smaller schools--how organize. Adding 32 4A schools to the smaller class will not add state tournament slots.
