The problem with any of the rules is there is always some exception where the rule doesn't seem to do what we "think" is right. So, we can certainly discuss it here (this is after all a discussion forum). But the simple fact of the matter is whether you count FF or don't there will be circumstances where the rule seems absurd.
My son has been injured for much of the season and weighed in, then not wrestled. Not dodging anybody, just getting his 6 certified weigh-ins (required by rule). He's only wrestled in 2 tournaments (often bumped up a weight for 'team reasons') and has received at least 2 FF in his 12 matches. So, it might be tough luck for him come seeding time. But, so be it. He'll wrestle whoever steps out against him.
Frankly, I'd love to see him hit #1 seed before the semi's. When he pins that kid it will help our team in the sectional championship race since we won't have to wait 'til the finals to beat him.
