Should always strive whats best for the sport. Someone in charge of wrestling should know wrestling. If you've never wrestled and won or lost. You simply don't understand. And it can't be explained. Let's strive to make the greatest sport on earth greater. 
Back to the subject!!! As mentioned above. Do what we know is best and ask for forgiveness later.

Sounds ridiculous that the ihsaa hasnt already solved this problem.  Hopefully common sense will prevail......soon.

Every year there are some questionable seeding scenarios, where will they be this year?  Copying and pasting my pet peeve from last several years:
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.

South Adams and Adams central both have four 1 seeds while JC only has 3...makes you think

If they show up to do some other sport they won't. I mean, it is a wrestling tournament.
