EliteAthleticClub Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Just wondering if Indiana will ever add qualification series for the Folkstyle youth state tournament? I myself would love to see Sectionals, Regionals, qualification rounds for the state tournament. What are everyone else's thoughts? Add Sectionals, Regionals and Semi-Semi-State - maybe have it follow each of the High School Meets? The State Tournament this weekend has youth brackets with 45+ guys in it!!

BlackshirtD Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 The hardest part about that is many club tournaments fall after HS state so. A long time ago you had to place top 3 at a tournament to qualify for state....but lets be honest...there are almost 2000 wrestlers there this weekend....Thats a lot of money to put the piggy bank. My biggest concern is some of the start times. Peewees starting at 2pm is a nightmare..These kids have a hard time staying into it after round 2 in a 4 man bracket and 2 hours into a tournament...now 4 and 5 year olds get to run around for hours before they even wrestle...Those who are gonna be on the podium are those who can fight through the adversity of naptime...lol Coach Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteAthleticClub Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 I agree, wouldn't want to not make money as the ISWA does so much for wrestling, just would be nice to figure a qualifying system, and not have outrageous brackets. I also agree that start times are crazy. Sunday Novice starts at 8am, but with time switch (we are in Nw Indiana) kids are starting at 6am. Honestly if we could start Folkstyle season and run with HS schedule that would allow Indiana to get Freestyle and Greco back on the map! We'd be able to have more tournaments in FS/GR.

TripleB Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 4 regionals, top 8 qualify for state and have 32 man brackets. Do this for all SB and below. I was preaching to anybody that would listen. wwatson, EliteAthleticClub and AJ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have suggested to this LARGE guy to get on the discussion board to help fix MS state first and when that is completed use that as a guideline to show the successful results to the ISWA board for Folkstyle state. We will now see what his commitment is to launching LARGE ideas for the better of youth wrestling. Oh and BTW TripleB is my buddy #PainTrain (#)) TheCounty EliteAthleticClub 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takedownartist Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Would it be wrong to limit kids above .500 only to MS state to reduce crazy size of brackets and getting done near midnight? ISWA needs numbers to help grow sport and continued support of age group endeavors. Long day but would not change present format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InjuredReserve Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Metals much nicer than last years. But not sure if they are big enough for TripleB's "ego". TripleB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
