B, C, A is best answer with the information provided. Decbell1 you and Mr. Fauklen are off on how the criteria progresses based on multiple wrestlers being up for the same seed. However, with a more thorough talk with Mr. Faulklen about how the process works, rather than him just reading a quick e-mail example, I'm sure he would see where he went wrong on his decision on the seeding.

If I'm reading the explication correctly as long a you follow your original weight loss progression to make a certified weight then anything after doesn't matter. So a wrestler could weight in at an event last weekend 10 to 15 pounds over his certified weight class and then turn around and wrestle that certified weight class in Sectional. Example: Made 132 by dropping according to weight program progression, then weighed in around 145 last week cause he was lazy/dumb, and then can still drop to 132 for Sectional next week. In that case the official response is still not exactly promoting a safe weight loss plan the program was created to help promote. However, at least we have a clear answer though.

I believe both the wins and losses of the last two weekends will cause 145 to shuffle around some, as well as, several of the other weights.

Though a good out of state event to attend, your post shouldn't be lost in the fact that we need to stop this from occuring: 4/20/2013 Mishawaka Freestyle Open CANCELLED!!! Now only 2 events left in IN this weekend. 4/27/2013 Southport Ultimate Ironman. CANCELLED!!! And this is in a style that is currently only open for a month's time. There is some reason to be at least promoting in state participation, even if some people do occasionally travel across the boarder.

Even though Osha is a solid wrestler in his own right I'm not sure anyone but Kelley is going to touch Molloy this weekend. I am wondering how Osha ended up in 3rd out of that regional though. I didn't expect him to drop to that spot and have this tough of a battle to move on.

Guessing we will see a shake up at HWT. I heard Sampson from Northview clearly out wrestled a tough Paoli kid and Jolly-Little of Jeffersonville. I wasn't there so can anyone verify this one and explain how he pull those monster wins out.

I'm guess I'm confused on how this still works. If.... And he's taking some level of a high school style courses like Then why can he be called a Freshman then? Yeah I get the language barrier issue that was brought but he's not taking what i would call 8th grade course work nor just in an 8th grade or even middle school level environment. It would seem the paced out course work for 8th graders and 9th graders wouldn't be to much different in this setting. Just seems like he would be a freshman but then again I'm just a public school graduate and haven't experienced how these type of school conduct their school days.

So a medical redshirt year then. Huh.

Someone who was in state championship match last year, but didn't make it this year? Who was this?

On a similar note, when is the end day for high school wrestlers participating in any types of clinics, camps, or academy workouts? I wasn't sure if it was the first day of official practice or the first official meet of the season.

I'd rather see a system where the best team from each regional by a certain date was invited. We could base this on a power ranking or add in a coaches vote too if we needed to We can do this in a class format or not. That way it's not based on last years data and it's not on individual tourney points. It also allows us to spread things out around the state so more teams will have a chance to get involved.

If you want to remain in the athletic organization you have to follow there athletic guidelines. They have to option to leave it, but that means not being able to participate in there events. Most schools in a state don't like that option. So I guess the authority comes from not wanting to leave that exclusive club.

I'm not completely sold on this but if it's the way of the future we may only have one way to make it work right. Shift all the conference events earlier and give two weeks or so for the team event. It will allow teams to be at full strength. It will complete things before the IHSAA event. And teams eliminated week one or that weekend can still get in a multi-dual the last week or two of the season.

Would have liked to see a little less space between a few of the lighter middle weight.

Some of these light to middle weight have a decent gap in between them. I think a few could have been better spaced out to help with weight ratio.
