Well my two cents worth-
Seeding meets are a lot (use of two words there shoud give me a bonus point) of arguing now and I think it is too bad. For me I would like to see it done in the percentage race like basketball does it. Coaches wouldn't even need to travel to tournaments and sed they would do it purely off of records.
State- this is a two fold question. If you are worried about team points then I feel bad for some teams right now. If you are unlucky enough to get stuck in a tough regional you will lose some kids before state and thus loosing numbers which doesn't put you are a level playing field. In the past some teams from the east would bring a full team where in norton regional they might be lucky to 8 to 10 leaving a team 4 people short. So I believe the State team dual tournament will eliminate this.
Second fold is personnally when I wrestled my goal was to win State and that meant beating everyone in the state so having a tough regionals meant that I eliminated some good kids and and would have them at state. So having the open state wouldn't have mattered to me. Give me a tough regional and get me to state- that gives me the mental edge becasue I know tough kids are staying home.
