Here is a hypothetical Semi-State Realignment for discussions.

This doesn't involve moving teams from one sectional to another but instead looks at moving a whole sectional to a different semi-state. At first glance it does look silly that a school would drive to a farther semi-state location but this is happening in our current alignment, ie,  Floyd Central and New Albany sectional location.

The thought about this realignment is to distribute the balance of "power" as much as possible with keeping travel distance in mind. Longest distance between a school and their semi-state location is under 155 miles, this is in line with our current alignment. This post isn't created to make anyone mad or upset but just something I have thought about the last couple days. 

Six new schools would have to host a regional. 

Tables of each semi-state are below 

Changes 

East Chicago Semi-State

Gains: 

Frankfort Sectional 

Loses:

Mishawaka Sectional 

Fort Wayne Semi-State

Please let me know your thoughts and any critiques on this hypothetical Semi-State Realignment.

Do my female wrestlers need USA Cards?

36 sectionals would make it nearly impossible to find enough referees.

Two Possibilities

1) 24 Sectional Sites 

Combine 1A & 2A sites 

2) Recruit more referees. 

State shouldn't be about getting schools represented, it should be about getting the best kids competing.

It would help grow wrestling in the state of Indiana. 

Class the first two round of the State tournament. 1A, 2A, 3A. Same classification of the IHSWCA State Championships.

12 "1A" Sectionals using 16 man brackets. Lose pigtail and you are out. Wrestle backs to third just like we have now. Top 3 Advance to "1A" (Fort Wayne) Semi-State.  

12 "2A" Sectionals using 16 man brackets. Lose pigtail and you are out. Wrestle backs to third just like we have now. Top 3 Advance to "2A" (New Castle) Semi-State. 

12 "3A" Sectionals using 16 man bracket. Lose pigtail and you are out.Wrestle backs to third just like we have now. Top 4 Advance to "3A North" (East Chicago) or "3A South" (Evansville) Semi-State.

Semi-State will use a 24-man bracket. Bracket example is below. Top Four of each Semi-State advance to the State Championship at Banker Life Field House. 

This will only take three week to complete. 

Bracket to be used at Semi-State.

This allows opportunity for more schools to be represented at the State Championship and still only have 1 State Champ for each weight class.

Will a wrestler be able to complete with these hair covering above, in order to cover his goatee?

Would officials be more likely to call stalling if there were no "free" points involved?  What if every stalling call gave the opponent choice of position.  They could choose bottom and earn the escape point.  If they're behind a lot at the end of the match, they could choose top to try to get a pinning combo.

If you were really good on top, wouldn't you just stale so your opponent picks down to "earn the escape point"?
