Here is another complaint -- and I raise this every year -- in the sectionals with > 8 teams several of the wrestlers are put into a "one-and-done" scenario.  If you are lucky enough to have a sectional with only 8 teams, then no matter what your record you are in double-elimination with a chance to wrestle back for 4th and a move to Regionals.
 
So, if you look at the sectionals with > 8 teams they have to seed the top 6 and then the rest are random draw.  However, since only 6 are seeded, that leaves 2 quarterfinal slots that are completely open.  In my opinion, the unseeded wrestlers should go there to battle it out with each other.  Instead, some sectionals do a complete random draw and place an unseeded wrestler against a top seed, while another unseeded wrestler lucks out and gets a bye in that empty quarterfinal slot.
 
Mooresville coaches have done it right -- the unseeded wrestlers are always paired up on those open slots and the #1 and #2 seeds always draw a bye to the quarterfinals.  Meanwhile, as an example in the Crawfordsville sectional at 182 there is unseeded Wrestler with 17-17 record who has drawn into a first round with the #2 seed.  If he loses, then he is done - no chance to wrestle back for 4th.  In the same bracket, a 12-23 wrestler gets a first round bye to the quarterfinals.  If he loses he still has a shot at wrestling back to move on.  I would like to see that 17-17 unseeded matched up against the 12-23 unseeded wrestler and give the #2 guy a bye.  That way at least both of the unseeded have a better shot to battle for that #3 or #4 finish and another weekend.  For some kids, that alone may make their entire season.

Our Athletic Director asked the IHSAA about that and said we could NOT do it unless the IHSWCA made a proposal to do it that way.

The real wrestling season starts this weekend with everyone's post season record of 0-0.
May you wrestle to the highest level you are capable of and free of any injury or illness.
I have seen great wrestlers choke and not get out of sectionals. Some have missed weight and done.
I also have seen .500 wrestlers catch fire and make it down to state.
It is your time to shine.
It would be neat to have a big bracket board that starts with all the sectionals and end up with the final sixteen at State Finals. Why should March Madness be the only one to have it?
Maybe some high tech fellow fan could put it together and post here.
It would really show how huge of an accomplishment getting to state in our one class system.

Track wrestling says all of the sectional brackets will be posted @9pm tonight

In the match you stated, there was a little extra at the end that was inappropriate and the wrestler was reprimanded. We do not teach nor condone that. It is an emotional sport and at times, high school kids make the wrong decision in the heat of the moment.

Track wrestling says all of the sectional brackets will be posted @9pm tonight

I'm sure you have all the details since you made a new account to complain in all your posts. Can you give us the matches where punches were thrown and kids were slammed in the back of the head? There is video where these accusations can be confirmed or invalidated.

Why not go in detail since you know so much?? Let's hear it. Or maybe you just don't know what your talking about, which I am sure is the case

That's funny I thought all those things were illegal in Wrestling? Or is that what some teach nowadays?

Y2 will cover his bald spot during a tense moment and will do the little fist pump and head shake after squeaking out a win

New Haven Sectional Predictions
 
106: Ester (Snider)
 
113: Schuller (Woodlan)
 
120: Toss up between Martin (Leo) and Rushing (Homestead)
 
126: Hall (Huntington North) or Davis (Leo)
 
132: Reust (Bishop Luers) or Haught (Huntington North)
 
138: Hissong (Leo)
 
145: Wyro (Homestead)
 
152: Woenker (Bishop Luers)
 
160: Potter (New Haven)
 
170: Johnson (New Haven)
 
182: Savieo (New Haven)
 
195: Hart (Wayne) or Gigli (Bishop Luers)
 
220: Close between Elwood (Leo) and Amstutz (New Haven)
 
285: Watson (New Haven)

152Woenker won the Woodlan invite by fall so..........
160 I'll take Johnson from Wayne lost to Potter earlier in the year 6-5, however he has wrestled a tough schedule and I believe he takes this one. And of course I'm biased.

"I'll take
*132 Reust- Bishop Luers (win by fall over Roemer)
*152 Woenker- Bishop Luers (30-2 on season ticket rounder last year)
160 will be interesting imo

.
my comment to his earlier comment was after he had already inserted himself into an issue that didn't involve him in the first place.....he always swoops in to be the savior and defender of everyone against the ISWA.
 
My main issue is when the ISWA has done nothing wrong and someone goes on here and slams them why pile on and why not instead do the right thing and say something along the lines of "well sir, your points are not correct and you have to follow the rules like everyone else".
 
In response to his comments................no you don't have to attend the meeting to have a tournament, but it is the only way to guarantee your planned date.....if you don't attend then you are at the mercy of the discretion of the ISWA to say if it is a good weekend or a bad weekend depending on the # of tournaments that were bid for at the bid meeting by the clubs adhering to the rules (he knows this and is just trying to stir the pot when it is not needed).
 
Again why are there not more people posting comments in support of the ISWA on this issue is the real question ???

You did kinda egg it on by making reference to his earlier comment.

Can you point me to where you MUST attend the annual meeting in order to sanction an event? I know of an event this past weekend that their personnel were not at the meeting and they were sanctioned.

Woodlan brackets are up, New Haven was added last minute to the event.

Bruin might be able to fax it after he hand writes it..does that count? #Welcome2The21stCentury

I'm looking for a digital version.

Stole this from the NE8 Topic, but didn't want to highjack their thread.  Anyhow here are the semistate ranked kids by conference, so there is a bunch you could discuss... What conference is the best right now? Who will get the most to state?  Who would win an all-star event between the conferences?  If I miss any let me know.  I just did the NE8, NECC, ACAC, and SAC feel free to add the others.

The regional multiplier isn't meant to determine which sectional and regional has the most top end kids, it is meant to determine the overall strength of the regional based on all of the teams in the regional, not just the top end teams.
Most years the Carroll regional has had many more mid level teams than the jay county regional.
 
So it kind of looked like this-
Jay County
Top End teams
Yorktown
Belmont
 
Mid level
AC
Jay county.
Muncie central.
Delta.
South Adams.
 
Carroll
Top end
Carroll
 
Mid level
Columbia city
Busco
Garrett
Dwenger
Leo
Snider
New haven
Homestead
Woodlan
Huntington north
Usual a random FW school

My bad, I meant semi state placers. However thank you for all the stats! Also so does that mean the Peru regional is in-turn weaker or just bad luck with running into the Jay County Regional champs/runner ups?
