I can see an argument where the absence of wrestle-backs add a brutal dose of reality in that sometimes life seems like the a spin of the roulette wheel. Coming up short in that type of scenario—like a ticket rounder who’s actually a “top four in the state” wrestler—that type of experience could likely teach good lessons. (Not sure if you’re being sarcastic, I haven’t read through a lot of these class wrestling threads and don’t know what your position on it is).
But honestly, would I really want that experience for my kid? A lot of stuff will teach good lessons that I’d rather them not go through.
The main reason for my position on wrestle-backs is I think it would add integrity to the tournament to truly find out who the best is.
My opinion is my own and based on what I think is best for my kids. I respect everyone else’s opinion as well, and can see the small school perspective. This is just my .02
