I found a statement on another forum saying New York State tournament all wrestlers are aloud to compete in the State tournament?

The statement is false!
NYSPHSAA 2006-2007 State Wrestling Championship Flyer! The tournament, now in its fourth year of a two-division format, will follow a similar schedule to last year's event held at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. The difference in this tournament, however, will be the addition of 130 more wrestlers who will fill the byes in the brackets that the tournament has had since the two-division format was implemented in 2003.
This year's wrestling championships will give 520 student-athletes from approximately 400 schools the opportunity to pursue a state crown. Each of 11 sections, along with the New York City Public School Athletic League (PSAL) and the Catholic High School Athletic Association (CHSAA), will send qualifying wrestlers from each weight class in each division.
