BrokenTowelRack Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Looking through the brackets, it appears that the Sectional Champion at 113 at Crown Point will officially be the first semi-state qualifier of 2014. There are only 3 guys in the LaPorte Sectional at 113, so a forfeit will actually qualify for the Crown Point Regional at 113. Kind of messed up.. Anywhere else that this will happen?

Y2CJ41 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Well if you want to get technical he still may not be the first. He will still need to weigh in next Saturday and thus that will qualify him for semi-state. HOWEVER, since you region people are such big time Chicago wanna-bes and an hour behind us a wrestler may have a match before the weigh-ins occur at Crown Point.

BrokenTowelRack Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 With 312 schools fielding an entry at Sectionals, and cutting down the field to 128 after Sectionals, it seems wrong that with 184 entries being eliminated (some wrestlers and some forfeits), that a forfeit will be making it to the second weekend of the tournament while many wrestlers will be staying home. Any way that the IHSAA allows 5 guys from the Crown Point Sectional at 113 to advance to make up for this? I'm sure there are a lot of kids out there who would love a chance to compete at the Regionals in place of this forfeit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ontherise219 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm thinking at 106 the logansport regional might have the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontherise219 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I feel like they should take the 5th place finisher 106 at CP could send 5 instead of giving a first rd forfeit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
