i don't know enough of what happened with the individual that got a waiver to have an opinion, but if the kid was actually injured and got a waiver, I honestly don't know what the issue is. If a kid went out and got two tournaments in, why don't we look at that in a different manner. That kid went out and competed! What's the point in wrestling freestyle, if you just hide in your high school or club room for two months and train freestyle, then pull out the singlet come that first week in May??

To me, if you want kids to participate you can't have the 2 tournament rule. With so many national tournaments nowadays, the amount of weekends in which these kids are available to compete in freestyle tournaments is minimal. In the same sense however, I really think we need to be pushing freestyle and greco. You can look at the statistics, over 85% of NCAA Division One All-Americans competed in Fargo. Freestyle and greco are going to help our state in the future. The real issue here is, how do we get our state to balance these big national folkstyle events in the spring and freestyle/greco? I don't think blasting kids on this forum because they were hurt and got a waiver. It sounds to me that a lot of people are upset because their kids are not wrestling due to the lack of tournaments in their area. The solution: host a tournament! I can think of one really big preseason tournament over in Northeast Indiana, so hosting a saturday freestyle open should not be out of line. Instead of blaming the ISWA, i think we should take it upon ourselves to host freestyle tournaments and promote it more. Quit pointing the finger and take a little bit of responsibility

What Semi State Produces Most Champs?
bomber_bob replied to In The Bleachers's topic in Past Discussions
I don't think he "underperformed"? He got caught in a spladle early in the match, and then won his last two matches to get 5th. I think more like "bad luck" is what cost him a title rather than he didn't do enough and underperformed. I think he's definitely a lock. He's dominated everyone he's wrestled this year -
in reply to the talk of 12 potential State qualifiers, it's hard to predict that. There's upsets every year at Regional, and the draw can either work in your favor or against you. So until that draw comes out, it's going to be pretty difficult to speculate how many we can get through.
