I have made this ammendment to the KWCA before that this could all be solved with just a little editing of the rule. The rule currently reads 5 matches, which if tallied in minutes would equal 30 minutes of wrestling in one day, add OT too all five and that brings the total to 35 minutes in one day. Add tiebreaker to each one of those and the total number of minutes that an athlete could wrestle in one day is 38 minutes. If the rule read that no athlete shall wrestle in more than 38 minutes of competition I would bet that would cover 95% of the 5 match problems. Because of Falls and the lack of OT and tiebreakers. Many have said it would be a night mare to keep track of but you can grab any bracket and figure mat time in every match with the exception of Tech Falls to see where the athletes are minute wise. We just hosted our JV Tourney this week end and ended up doing what has been said here in this post flipped a coin and split the points in 4 wt classes. If the rule had been edited as such above we would have not had a single flip. This would not require a rule change just an editorial clairification of what the "rule" already allows us to do.
