piscis1956 got a reaction from tyquhp13 in Seeding Meeting Change???
As an aside, way back when I was in school, we called them "rat tail" matches instead of "pig tails". Pig tails are curled. Rat tails are straight.
(Yeah, I'm old.)

I was about to write a similar comment. Make pigtails be between non-seeded wrestlers.
And then it would be good for the pigtails (of unseeded wrestlers) to feed into the lower seeded wrestlers.
And then if you did this, you could just not count points in the pigtail matches to eliminate higher seeds complaining about not having equal opportunity for pigtail bonus points.

Okay, thank you for the reply. I guess at my age, 4 years or 8 to 10 years all seems the same. Ha ha

I am a fan of rankings because I believe it can get your community talking about your team and ultimately grow the sport. This being said you will hear no complaint from Brownsburg regarding our ranking or seed at anything. Seeds and rankings generate discussion of our sport which is good for our growth. We care nothing but the end result. Yorktown brought what they could and beat us at Mooresville. They were not at full strength either. Congrats to them on getting the job done.

We did not purposely keep anyone out of Mooresville. It’s an awesome tournament. I wish all my starters could have wrestled this year and last year, but we have been banged up and sick. I wouldn’t enter our varsity in a great tournament like Mooresville and then send half of them.
We have had 1 starter out all year as he got hurt in football. Another starter is 1-0 and we hope to get back soon.
We had every intention of wrestling Mills and Walton Day 2, but they both got sick night of Day one. Lee, Krietzer, and Mulkey are sick. Peterson and Campbell banged up. We got a few back today and more tomorrow and hopefully even more next week.
Yes, they would have all wrestled if it was Team State or Sectional time. However, we are not intentionally sitting them at Mooresville. Trust me that they, my coaching staff, and I are very frustrated. I wish we were 100% healthy, but I’ve never had that miracle in my coaching career.
Congrats to Yorktown on their well deserved win. They have some studs and it was fun watching them do their thing.

This is a noble post. Leads me to wonder: if a program can’t keep kids healthy and injury free, should they not have consequences? Most of the dominant professional and collegiate sports teams mitigate injury and wellness as part of their overall franchise/team health (outside of the 5 player team NBA). Ring worm, fever, weight probz, grades, etc, are all part of the program.
Shouldn’t Yorktown be #1 because they brought what they could for better or for worse? Bankers is all that matters in the end, but I feel like programs that sacrifice competitions for team improvement shouldn’t have a free pass.

piscis1956 got a reaction from pritchem in Dual Results
Repeating the final team score a second time does not constitute "details". C'mon, if a match is shown in the Dual Results section without the "Details missing" label, I think I should get to see something if I open it. Otherwise, it's like finding a package under the Xmas tree wrapped up in colorful paper, pretty ribbons, and a bow ... only to find an empty box when it's open. I feel deflated.

piscis1956 got a reaction from Perseverance in Football vs Wrestling....risk/reward
Perserverence,
I don't think anyone on here was intending to offend you. I think they were only trying to give you the feedback that you ask for. You wanted opinions from others' perspectives and they generously provided it.
That doesn't mean you have to agree with it all or follow any of it. But at least you now have more input than you had before. And for that I think you should be grateful.
But more than that, be grateful that you have such a fine son who is multi-talented enough to have choices that DO have to be made.
