Clint Gard Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 4 hours ago, maligned said: They just missed the vote-in process. Sadly, they forfeited a weight and had 4 guys not make it out of one of the thinner sectionals in the state. If they'd had one more guy make it to regional or had a warm body in that forfeited weight, they would have been in the vote-in discussion. It's true they beat Rochester head-to-head but remember scoring is heavily weighted toward returning guys and CA had 3 of their top guys graduate--meaning they bring back 10 compared to 14 starters from Rochester (I'm just speaking in terms of how scoring works...CA's incoming class could make them a force but that's not part of the scoring process.) They would have been an amazing candidate, sadly, with all the credentials they've got coming in for next year. They'll be very good for the next few years it seems. We just don't have a fair way to consider incoming 8th graders, move-ins, etc. before the voting process, so you've got to get that far at least first. Who do they have coming in next year?

CMA had some 'gaps' in their line-up (be that FF's or very novice wrestlers). With the 3 seniors graduating there are some openings in the middle weights and still 2-3 spots in the lower weights and 1-2 spots in the upper. So, I guess it will really depend on the incoming class and how they fill in. In another post Sig40 indicated 5 new guys coming in from OH? It will be interesting to see how they fall into the line-up among the returning guys. CMA will lose 3 Seniors next year as well who were 1 SSQ and 2 RQ from this season. The lack of a feeder program is tough for consistency. Edited April 19, 2018 by MOWrestler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen anything official either. So I'm uncertain where the information comes from. I did see in another post and on FB that CMA is beefing up their schedule as well. This has been another challenge for the team over the years since they've had some really talented kids who truly need the competition, but also had 3-5 weights with really novice wrestlers. Hard to have tournaments that meet the needs of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to find the old post with the team points. I am a little surprised CMA was not in the mix for a vote-in. They beat Rochester head to head in a dual last year (which I realize isn't a criteria and lost a close dual with New Prairie with a couple of kids out of the line-up d/t injury). CMA must have had 9 RQ, with 6 SSQ, and 2 SQ.

tskin Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 guys it is what it is. Madison beat South Dearborn this year with two of our starters out of the lineup and we didn't make the cut. This isn't a perfect system but its the best that we can do until the IHSAA grants extra weigh ins (which from what I hear will never happen) or the IHSAA reinstates team state. My team has been on the cusp of making team state for several years and it sucks but in the end is our goal to get every team that deserves to be at state there (which I will say we typically can count that our top 10 teams in each class make the cut) or is it to find out the very best team in each class?

I agree with you. I think we get close on the top 10 and I think the system likely places the top 4-6 well. After that there will always be arguments about the system or where the cut line should be. From the standpoint of parity within a class, it is nice that there are teams from 15-25 that could still be competitive with teams who make the top 12. piscis1956 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to say this system is a lot more fairer than the IHSAA the previous team state system. What about the old system when you had two top teams in the same regional, then a top team in the state doesn't make it to the dual meet. For example, you had Brownsburg and Avon in the same regional this year. Since Brownsburg won the regional, Avon would have been out? You have top teams At least this system puts in the best teams into the competition and it also puts the competition at a time that its not competing against the individual state tournament at the same time. Now were arguing about whose 11th and 12th and most likely these last two team wont be much of a factor in the championship. I don't care how you slice it, there's always going to be a last guy out. piscis1956, MOWrestler and backtothemat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We (Churubusco) finished 1st in 2014 as a vote in, and last in 2016 as a vote in. Its tough projecting who should get those last spots. I can tell you it sucked being invited when we shouldn't have been in 2016. I'm sure it would have been even worse though not getting in in 2016 when we had a championship team.

WadeDuPont Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Why is there a vote in? If the formula is so good to determine the Top 10, why isn't it good enough for the Top 12? nkraus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe its mostly due to the fact that it can not take into account factors outside of the ISHAA tournament like injuries, in coming 8th graders who are varsity material, quality JV wrestlers stuck behind a stud Senior, ineligible wrestlers, etc.... While the vote-in panel can not always pin down how much those factors will contribute to a team success, the group at least tries to evaluate those factors rather than just leaving them out completely.

IndianaWrestlingGuy1 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Tried to resist, but can’t. Cathedral 2016-17 was 3rd in the IHSAA state and didn’t get invite or a write-in. And, as far as I am concerned, we’ll never get a write-in with the current system. I think Maligned and crew are doing a good job, but the write-in/committee might need to look at criteria differently. nkraus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maligned Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Just for clarity's sake: 2015-16: Cathedral ties for 9th at Team State and finishes 3rd at IHSAA state (They then finished 11th in Team State qualification before losing out in the vote-in process for the 16-17 event) 2016-17: Cathedral finishes 3rd at IHSAA state again and finishes 3rd in Team State qualification, rejecting its automatic bid for 17-18 (based on season results and IndianaMat duals ranking, they finished as arguably the 7th best duals team in this 16-17 season, meaning they were a few slots better than their 11th-place Team State qualification score from the end of 15-16 that left them on the outside looking in) 2017-18: Cathedral wins IHSAA state and finishes 1st in Team State qualification, suggesting they're the favorite to win Team State in 18-19. They accept their bid. (based on season results and IndianaMat duals ranking, they were arguably the 3rd best duals team in the 17-18 season, in line with where their qualification score at the end of 16-17 projected they'd be) Edited April 24, 2018 by maligned IndianaWrestlingGuy1 and Wrestling Scholar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer duals cannot be too indicative of the season unless all your kids do is wrestle.. We would not gotten on here and claimed anything otherwise had we won either...I wasn't able to be there, but I was happy to hear some of our individuals had good days...BUT the conversation is already over.
