ONeillt Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Westfield HS will be participating. We just have not yet received a contract, but we plan on being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppe66 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Yuck Spartan Classic on 1/2 & 1/3 but team State on 1/3. Wonder what some schools will decide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 From what I can gather, Carroll and Cathedral won't be at the Spartan Classic. Union County however choose to decline their bid after learning of the dates. It is not good to see the top two teams not attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Cathedral won't be at the Spartan Classic. It looks like they have substituted it this year with the Moorseville Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominator96 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 As a wrestler who has attended both Team State and The Spartan Classic, I enjoy wrestling at the Spartan Classic 1,000x more than team state. I'm pretty upset that we chose team state over the spartan classic. Winning the individual Championship at the Spartan classic was awesome, and winning the 2a trophy was more fun than team state. hopefully the location this year improves the numbers of spectators.

Fabio Jr. Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Its that attitude that will continue to make this tournament a hassle to run. You should voice an opinion the IHSAA to allow us to run a tournament that would work for all schedules so that we can have a Team Title (host at end of the season and grant an extra weigh in).

Coach McCormick Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 The IHSWCA Team State Duals tournament planning committee will be meeting with Ball State officials next week. We will be doing a "walk thru" of the facilities and inventorying their technology capabilities and protocols. FW Eastside accepted their bid, so all 36 positions in this event are full at this time.

Cosgrove Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 With Nick on this one team state after individual state and bring back the competition to get a team title. Why was this cut in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 With Nick on this one team state after individual state and bring back the competition to get a team title. Why was this cut in the first place? Because coaches sent their JV squads to team regional and semi-state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chambers Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 With Nick on this one team state after individual state and bring back the competition to get a team title. Why was this cut in the first place? There is not a wrestling coach in Indiana who does not agree. The change came from the IHSAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio Jr. Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Thats a bold face lie...there are coaches who are in positions of power who don't care...it got removed because coaches were making a mockery of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chambers Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Thats a bold face lie...there are coaches who are in positions of power who don't care...it got removed because coaches were making a mockery of it. I am not saying that there were not coaches who made a mockery of the old state tournament by sending JV wrestlers or forfeiting when they had a wrestler who could have wrestled at the team regional or team semistate level. I am saying that the coaches would agree that it is better to have the team state after the individual state tournament instead of in the middle of the season. I am not saying that there were not coaches who made a mockery of the old state tournament after Individual state by sending JV wrestlers or forfeiting weights when they had a wrestler who could have wrestled at the team regional or team semistate. I am saying that I believe that every coach would like to have the team state tournament after Individual state instead of in the middle of the season.

swortman Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I'm a student at Ball State and would love to volunteer my time for this event. If anyone can put me in contact with someone who can help that would be great! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carseller0822 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Has a format for the team state tournament ever been decided upon? If this has already been discussed then please accept my apology. I did a search and didn't turn anything up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chambers Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Is this what you are looking for? Bracketing will involve a hybrid pool/bracket format as follows: --4 pools of 3 teams per class --A higher seed, a lower seed, and an unseeded/random team will be in each pool --Pool higher seed and lower seed will meet in the third match of the pool round, to create a virtual quarterfinal match in most pools. --The pool winners advance to the semi-finals. Second place teams in the pools advance to the 5th-8th semi-finals. Pool 3rd place teams get one more match against another 3rd place team. The schedule, though not finalized, will look something like this. 9am-2pm: Pools on 12 mats, 1 pool per mat, wrestling 3 duals directly through with no breaks: --Match 1: higher seed vs. unseeded --Match 2: lower seed vs. unseeded --Match 3: higher seed vs. lower seed --2:30pm: Championship semi-finals, 5-8 semi-finals on 4 mats per class --5pm: 3rd place, 5th place, and 2 consolation matches from pool 3rd place finishers on 4 mats per class --7:30pm: Championship finals on 3 mats total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maligned Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 That was the proposed format, which was published as "probable" when the event was announced. This will basically be the format, but there may be a couple of small alterations. There was just a coaches' meeting held to discuss final details and those should be announced shortly.

The place I copied the format from did not say it was "probable". At the end of the page it said "Items approved by IHSWCA State Duals committee. press release prepared by Adrian Troyer" When was the coaches meeting? Are you talking about the IHSWCA State Duals committee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 To clarify: shortly after we published the original doc, Coach McCormick said that the format was probably going to be used, but possibly with some small changes once all logisistics could be fleshed out fully. There was a planning meeting involving the volunteers for the event and the IHSWCA board to go over many details of the event...one of which was to make sure that the proposed format logistics were all doable, logical, and in line with trackwrestling capabilities. The format above is the framework, but the official announcement of all the tiny details will be announced shortly by Coach McCormick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
