As I entered the information into the spreadsheet for next year's dual team tourney, I came across this information

# of 3A teams: 28
# of 2A teams: 24
# of 1A teams: 24


# of 3A state qualifiers: 44
# of 2A state qualifiers: 8
# of 1A state qualifiers: 4

Very interesting. I still like the no class system. It doesn't water the sport down with multiple state champs and doesn't leave anyone guessing who the best in the state is.

Yes, I noticed it too. It was sort of painful to recognize.

I think that you would get a more accurate look at whether or not a class system would be "justified" if you look at these numbers in terms of number of state qualifiers per capita.  3A schools sent 78% of the state qualifiers, while the 1A schools only sent 7%; but if the 3A schools account for 78% of the possible wrestlers(enrolled students) and the 1A schools only account for 7%, these numbers aren't that far off.   But if the 3A schools are sending 78% of the wrestlers to state, but only account for 50% of the possible wresters, maybe a class system would be appropriate.
