Weight classes get reduced every weekend from sectionals to state. Double the numbers of kids still in the tourney series.
How hard is it to see that there would be 32 state qualifiers rather than 16?
And what evidence is there to support a drop in fan levels?
Check the gate numbers for surrounding states with class wrestling. I know Ohio isn't hurting any.
There are a lot of very good small schools in Ohio. Delta,Bedford Channel,CVCA and Applecreek Waynedale to name a few.
All of them have full lineups most every year.
If single class and no wrestlebacks are considered a gift, what would punishment be like?
Yes, over 82,000 thru the gate over a three day, four session tourney. Reading and comprehension are fundamental. Over 11,000 for the first session Thursday afternoon. More than indiana Saturday night finals.
Over 82,000 thru the gate at the ohio state tourney this weekend. Watered down class wrestling is the death knell for our sport. Ruined I tell you...
Three days of useless wrestlebacks.
Apparently the bylaws can be adjusted to suit individual needs. Last year the blue team didn't invite a 4th placer and put a 5th placer in the slot. The 5th placer didn't make weight so he was replaced by a ssq and moved up a weight class.
Good luck telling parents what team their kids can or cannot wrestle for. Might as well start with me as a test case. My kid is a junior and his invite was for the IN-IL all star dual. Nothing for scholastic duals.
