I think you need to have a 6pt. system.

AA=National placer
A=state placer
B=state Qual.
C=Usually top 3 (or something like that)
D=average
E=beginner

One other thought as it will always be tough to place kids all correctly is to always have challenges for 2nd. I realize this adds more matches, but it get things right for the wrestlers and that is why we are all doing this.
