While our state tournament is pretty special, it overall isn’t perfect. We hear arguments of wrestlebacks, classes, etc., so how would you go about formatting the state tournament?

For me, I’d probably seed the state tournament, add wrestlebacks, and drop placements to six. I feel as if it would create a better atmosphere and tournament that ensures the best matches. In the current system, a bottom-ranked, ten loss semi-state champ could make the top four while the second-ranked, one loss guy, who could’ve done no more than injury default/MFF a match at semi-state, could possibly draw the #1 in the quarters and have to settle for 5th when he’s one of the top two wrestlers there. 

As for placement change, it just seems odd to me that you can have a state medalist in Indiana with only one win at the tournament (8th place wrestler goes 1-3). That hardly seems fair to first round losers who could wrestle back and earn their spot. Nowhere else in the United States do you find a state medalist with only one win at their tournament. By dropping two placements, it would ensure that the bottom placer, assuming they were beaten first round, would have at least two matches won en route to a medal.

These are just my thoughts. Give me some of yours.

ya but you don't see that anywhere else because most of the other states wrestling in classes such as 1A 2A 3A  so they have way more state placers than indiana all the kids that make it to the state tournament in  indiana deserve to be there and if they can win there first match they are good enough to be the top 8 in the state at there weight class

i understand if a few of them have good draws but there whole team that made it to semi-state  does and  i have been on this site for more than a few weeks i understand how it all works you say they use a formula but why does always seem one sided

State ranked kids they will probably face to advance to BLF

106 — vs #9, then #5

120 — vs #5

132 — vs #2

145 — vs #20

152 — vs unranked, Good draw

220 — vs #16, then #4

So you consider that a good draw for the South Dearborn wrestlers?  Wow.

im saying if you look at all the other unranked kids  they have the better draw out of the rest of them

Koors and Lorenz from Greensburg are out. So there is some drama removed from top 2 weights.

are they out on injury

who will win the team tittle and what individuals will win 

the  new castle ranking for 106 is wrong garret condo is ranked 7th and he hasn't wrestled 106 since his freshmen year

that would be some great wrestling to watch. i think stevie browning would have a great matche against manchester if he wasnt out on a concussion

are the state rankings going to change before next season

Doesn't the state tournament start on Friday and end on Saturday already?

yes but i think the round on friday night should get wrestlebacks 

football? wrestling? or both?

glad to see not the only person that thinks this 

If there was i think the meets would have to start on friday night and finish on saturday

Just now, FCFIGHTER170 said:

It wouldn't be close.. maybe 1 day but not now.. he's a older and stronger version.. give it 5 years

idk i still think it would be a close match 

how close would the match be?

I don't know where you heard this

the first person beat by the semi state qualifier that went out for what ever reason would be the alternate
