Swarm88 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I was curious if this event was going to happen again this year? I didn't see anything on ISWA or IHSAA website. Sounded like a great tournament last yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyho Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 so in order to qualify for this u need to lose at sectional or regionals ? or can a jv kid who didn't wrestle in sectionals also allowed to enter? and will you need to preregister ?

Any freshman or sophomore that doesn't place at IHSAA STATE is able to compete. Semi state qualifiers and state qualifiers do not need to wrestle in the southern or northern district tournaments to qualify. Registration will be on trackwrestling & will require a USAWRESTLING MEMBERSHIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antwaun graves and gabe Smith also were there. Juggernaut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takemtothemat Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Yes!!!!! This needs to be a one day event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One or two days would probably come down to the size of the brackets. They willl already have a large number of automatic qualifiers, which you can’t really cap. So the only way to limit the bracket size would be to take less placers from the regional qualifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I’d also like to know if there is a plan to refine the separation criteria, at lest at the state level. Last year the regional qualifier really didn’t matter in the separation which I thought was unfortunate for those that traveled far and battled hard to finish Hugh in the qualifier got nothing at state for that effort. Some like this could be entered into track to create a more balanced bracket for those going to F/S State: 1. State qualifiers 2. Semi-state qualifiers and the F/S Qualifier Champ 3. F/S Qualifier 2nd & 3rd place. 4. F/S Qualifier 4th place. (Maybe 5th since they finish at essentially the same spot) The rest of he competitors get drawn in. Although if you want to keep the brackets at a manageable size for a one day event taking qualifiers past the top 5 placements will make that hard to do. If you wanted to have separation criteria for the F/S Qualifier it would just have to be regional qualifiers get the separation. Then the rest are drawn in. Is that a perfect system No (doesn’t account for sectional upsets or the stud JV guy). But it at least give a chance for most of the better guys to get separated and make of the top placements for state rather than face each other early.

Was there any bracket with more than 16? If so how many kids were in any one weight class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Seymour Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Brownsburg had two guys go and they had a decent amount of kids in their weight class. Been to too many tournaments since to recall but it was ran on track so you can look up information as to how big each weight was. It was a great tournament and I think we are going to push for more guys to go this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takemtothemat Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 If it stays 2 days saturday should be just medal rounds. Lot's of kids and parents spent money unnecessarily. Just to wrestle one match. Just my 2 cents worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
