Feels ridiculous to me.  Garrett has overshot their expectations the last few years.  Unseeded and placing 7th, with two injured starters two yeas ago. This season we were seeded 4th and placed 2nd losing 37-33 to Wawassee.  So, when in vote in consideration you don't vote the returning runner up who has exceeded expectations the last two, three seasons actually...seems pretty illogical.  The "we want new blood in the tournament" would be a pretty crappy argument.

Just 8.  Plus two others kids who have started in the last two years.  So 10 of our starters next year will have been starters in the past.

I can’t speak about Southridge but I would guarantee a larger amount of returning Regional and Semi State Qualifiers if we were in the Peru Sectional/Regional two of the weakest in the State.

I don't really care which way the decision goes here.  However, since you brought this up its worth pointing out that according to our Team State Points Value Categories, the Carroll's Sectional (Garrett) is just one point ahead of Peru's Sectional (Rochester) which is designed to give additional credit when coming out of a harder grouping of teams.  And both Carroll and Peru are at the exact same Regional Point level.   Plus, currently Peru's sectional and regional point value falls in what I would consider the middle range rather than the bottom/weakest.  Although the calculations may not be perfect I trust they are pretty close based on all the data maligned has collected over the year. So while the numbers do place a slight advantage in Caroll's Sectional and Regional, the numbers would say its may not historically be as large of one as you seem to suggest.

So does this mean that if a team has fewer than 7 wrestlers, that team does not count as an official team towards the classifications? For instance if 25 teams have fewer than 7 wrestlers, would we bump the cut lines by 25 between 3A/2A and 2A/1A, or would they simply not be eligible as a team? I assume it's the first, since they never would have qualified to begin with having less than 7 wrestlers, but I'd like to clarify.

The teams with 7 wrestlers will be added into a total pool. If that number is something like 270 for example, each class will have 90 teams in it. The teams with less than 7 will be added into 1 A at the bottom, but have no realistic chance of being a factor.

So realistically 3A and 2A could have 90 teams while 1A would have something like 110?

I can't say I'm shocked we weren't voted in considering no one on the committee has seen us wrestle in a dual, and most have probably never heard of us. We've been under the radar for the last couple year and we were hoping this would be our coming out party. In my biased opinion we are a top 5 2A team next year. We thrashed #9 New prairie worse than any team they wrestled at team state.

Seems to me that when we get to the vote in teams there will always be arguments to be made on either side. It's not clear cut either way.  I doubt it was a unanimous vote.

I suppose when you end up 'just out' it simply gives you motivation to make a statement next year.  I know it is especially nice if you get to face some of those teams that got in above you in head to head duals.

Present your case for the error on the mat:)

Just my 2 cents worth...

Realistically yes. But that can be brought back up to the committee within a few weeks. 
The idea was to keep it "all-inclusive". Maybe the better idea would be just to not put them in any class.

To me, it is really irrelevant, because those teams will not qualify regardless. But I understand your point.

For a couple of years I've been thinking 6-8 of the teams that get left out on the bubble (any class) should just for a super-dual on the same date.  That way if you are a contender you have the date open, if not you have a back-up plan annually.

At least your team got voted in.  We just to keep scratching our heads and looking over statistics.

He's being sarcastic bc everyone is stating their case. They bring back all 14, including 4 ticket rounders and 6 total SS qualifiers.

This was a very tight vote for this spot.  And I feel your pain.  I was on the committee when my own team Madison didn't get selected in the vote to compete in 2A State Finals.
