Y2CJ41 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 This year we are using a different type of seeding for the IHPO. With as many states as we have represented it is hard to determine if a placer from Ohio should be seeded above one from Illinois or Iowa or Indiana. With our new way of seeding we put will group those wrestlers together and the computer will random seed the wrestlers in that group. Each wrestler that qualifies will be given a "Separation Criteria" from the list below. The criteria are ranked in order. 1. State Champion/IHPO Champion 2. State 2-3/IHPO 2-4 3. State 4-5 4. State 6-8 5. State Qualifier 6. IHPO MS Champ/Other Credential With these groups we will determine seeds. Here is an example If we have 2 wrestlers with #1 criteria, 4 with #2, 2 with #3, 2 with #4 and 5 with #5 this is how it will work. The top two seeds will be the two wrestlers with #1 criteria Seeds 3-6 will be the wrestlers with #2 criteria Seeds 7-8 wrestlers with #3 criteria Seeds 9-10 wrestlers with #4 criteria Seeds 11-14 wrestlers with #5 criteria By doing this I don't have to scrutinize different states and the top wrestlers are all separated equally and in a more efficient manner.

Y2CJ41 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Will the brackets be posted Saterday night after weigh-ins? I believe we will create the brackets Saturday night. They may change slightly with 60 kids weighing in on Sunday if a few of them do not show up or don't make weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
