AJ Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Would you consider the following to be unethical or just a creative and good use of the rules: a coach entering a jv kid into the seeding meeting to avoid getting a certain seed in hopes of staying away from a wrestler, then the day of the sectional changing and entering their actual varsity wrestler who may now have a better draw than what he would have recieved if seeded?

Smooth34 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Are you allowed to enter a 2nd wrestler? Or does team FF weight class if a guy can't go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Seems like you would still be taking a heck of a chance that the draw just happened to work out in your favor when it could be even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansvilleSpectator Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 if you do this, then why do we even seed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eckert Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Let the wrestlers do the talking. If the varsity kid is or has not been healthy and they don't know who may show up come saturday then he chose wisely. But if the Varsity kid was healthy and more than capable to wrestle then unethical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the Varsity kid was healthy and more than capable to wrestle then unethical. If you have a kid that should be seeded and you are unsure if he is going to be able to wrestle, I would seed him. That way he doesn't get screwed and draw a top seed in a rat-tail match and have his season end early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bharmon01 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 If you are not the first, second or third seed the next best seed is sixth. like what was stated earlier, that is a big gamble you will draw into the bottom bracket. Now the question is unethical - if you know your kid is going to wrestle and he qualifies by the criteria to be seeded then he should be seeded, no matter where he falls. If you hold this kid, knowing he is going to wrestle,hoping for a better draw, then you deserve to draw the number one seed in the pig-tail round. like stated earlier - if he has a good chance of wrestling he should be seeded, but if he has no chance of wrestling then don't put him up.

snoopy Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Getting more common is entering a kid that has no chance of wrestling. Then after he getts a seed gets substituted with a weake draw. Unethical. happerns more in conferences with only 4 seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
