wrestleliferfan Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 What are the stipulations in which an alternate is used? And if an alternate is used do they replace the exact seed or does everyone move up a seed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that wrestler is unavailable then the next alternate is the 6th place wrestler from that sectional. They do not replace the exact seed. Everyone moves up from that sectional.

Semi-state used to or at least I’ve seen them allow alternates in at that level before. Did they adjust that rule recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrestleliferfan Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 What are the allowed reasons to use the alternate? Illness, No show, missed weight?? Or is it case by case scenerio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A son of a friend of mine was told to show up early at Bankers Life the last two years as a possible alternate ... just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janders2 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I have personally inputted alternates into the New Castle Semi-State and at Banker's Life. I do this if not every year at the SS, it is every other year. Whoever told you otherwise is incorrect. The ADs are involved as are the other Tournament Directors at each site.

janders2 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 . . Regionals to Semi‐States – The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place contestants in each weight class will advance to the semi‐ state. 1. Alternates – If it becomes necessary to provide an alternate for any contestant eligible to advance, the following procedure will be used: a. The alternate may be officially weighed in immediately after the end of the official weigh‐in period. b. The 1st alternate will be the last individual defeated by the champion who did not advance by placing. c. When a 1st place contestant is unable to make weight or weigh‐in and wrestle, the 2nd place contestant shall be advanced to the position vacated, the 3rd place contestant shall be advanced to the position vacated by the 2nd place contestant, and the 4th place contestant shall be advanced to the position vacated by the 3rd place contestant. d. When a 2nd place contestant is unable to make weight or weigh‐in and wrestle, the 3rd place contestant shall be advanced to the position vacated and the 4th place wrestler shall be advanced to the position vacated by the 3rd place contestant. e. When the 3rd place contestant is unable to make weight or weigh‐in and wrestle, the 4th place contestant shall be advanced to the position vacated by the 3rd place contestant. f. Flagrant Misconduct – The advancement procedure above shall also apply when a contestant has been disqualified for flagrant misconduct and is not permitted to advance to the next level of the tournament. C. Semi‐States to State Finals – The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place contestants in each weight class will advance to the state finals. 1. Alternates – If it becomes necessary to provide an alternate for any contestant eligible to advance, the following procedure will be used: a. The alternate may be officially weighed in immediately after the end of the official weigh‐in period on Friday evening. b. The only alternate will be the 5th place contestant in that weight class from that site. c. The 5th place alternate will be the last individual defeated by the champion who did not advance. d.

janders2 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I wouldn't doubt that you were told by ADs or the IHSAA something contradictory. I seem to have noticed a pattern with that over the years. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
