Less kids advance but get wrestlebacks? Doesnt sound like they will give something for nothing. Great question. Maybe we can get more ideas on this topic.

Just curious, does it cost IHSAA that much more to rent Bankers Life all Day Friday to add additional rounds? IHSAA would make more cash charging for more rounds.

Well unless it happens to your kid. You do understand that I totally agree with your opinion, right? Wrestlebacks are not needed because of upsets, they are needed to eliminate the most deserving wrestlers being eliminated by the luck of the draw. I only added the tidbit about upsets still happening, because they will. A relative unknown wrestler who is much better than his reputation will surprise everyone from time to time. That is the beauty of the sport - not bad luck from a ridiculous blind draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upsets are why you wrestle on the mat. 1 move 2 seconds can change a kids destiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tskin Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I will tell you this when I argued for wrestlebacks at the Proposal meeting with the IHSAA Mr Faulkens warned me not to use the term wrestlebacks. So when arguing the point I continuly used true 3rd bracket as we use in sectionals and seemed to be going well until Bobby Cox said, What your talking about is essentially wrestleback arent you. I answered I never said wrestle backs I said true 3rd bracket. ahhhh worth a try lol ontherise219, Wrestling Scholar, Westforkwhite and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
