XCard Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Posted this in another thread but think it died before anyone got a chance to read. Question for anyone involved in seeding at Sectinals. Reads a wrestler with a losing record may not be seeded unless he/she meets criteria a,b,c unless there are less than six (6) wrestelrs in the bracket. My question is if there is a 10 wrestler bracket with 5 of the 10 wrestlers having a losing record and do not meet criteria a,b,c, with the other wrestlers ahead of them, do we draw the rest of them into slots with the first wrestler going into the 6th seeded spot or determine who is the 6th seeded wrestler between the remaining kids with losing records? I feel like this is done differently in places, that is why I bring the question up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 It is drawn in. No unseeded wrestler should have any criteria over one seeded ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1894life Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 What if you have 4 good wrestlers in 1 weight class and they have conflicting head to head wins. Wrestler 1 beats wrestler 3, wrestler 2 beats wrestler 1, and wrestler 3 beats wrestler 2. And then wrestler 4 has common opponent criteria on wrestlers 2 and 3. How do you seed that?

XCard Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 What if you have 4 good wrestlers in 1 weight class and they have conflicting head to head wins. Wrestler 1 beats wrestler 3, wrestler 2 beats wrestler 1, and wrestler 3 beats wrestler 2. And then wrestler 4 has common opponent criteria on wrestlers 2 and 3. How do you seed that? Go to the next criteria. a. Head to head competition; (The wrestler with the most head to head wins gets the seed. If they have beaten each other an equal number of times, then the winner of the last match gets the seed.); b. Record against common opponents; c. Prior year IHSAA semi‐state quarterfinalist. d. A contestant with the best overall record (winning percentage) who has wrestled at least 10 matches; e. Farthest advancement in previous year IHSAA State Tournament Series; f. Draw by lot / Coin toss. Criteria is reset after determining each seed. NOTE: A wrestler with less than ten (10) matches may not be seeded ahead of a wrestler with at least ten (10) matches and a winning record unless he/she meets criteria in a, b or c. A wrestler with a losing record may not be seeded unless he/she meets criteria a, b or c unless there are less than six (6) wrestlers in the bracket.

1894life Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 That is what I thought. Once the 1 seed is set, seeding criteria resets for the 2 seed right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
