I'm all for the ticket round matches meaning a trip to state or a trip home it makes its a very intense and very exciting for both fans and wrestler. I was a victim of the ticket round twice in my career my sophomore year had 7 losses 1 to the state champ and 4 to the state runner up and drew a 4x champ in the round to go unfortunate because I had majored the kid who got 3rd at state. Junior year got upset in ot at regionals and drew a 2x state champ 1x runner up in the round to go he beat me 6-5 and won his state finals with his closest match was a 9point victory. Not all of the best guys make state which is bad but you can't beat the atmosphere of the ticket round.
