I thought Parsons over Irick was an upset 

There is a Girls Division this year ... there will be 3 qualifiers just like the Frosh-Soph Boys Tourney.   At the Central Qualifier (Part of Indy Nationals the Sunday after IHSAA State), they have an entirely separate division with the same fee as the two other Qualifiers.   All Frosh-Soph Girls in Indiana are welcome to enter the Qualifiers.     I set the qualifiers at 5 per weight class, but if the turnout is larger than expected this number can be amended.

This is something they do here in Hamilton County as well. It's on the "honor system" and coaches are supposed to weigh kids in prior to lunch that day rather than at the meet. Drives me nuts. Simply too easy to lie or say he was on just to fill a line-up. My understanding, however, is that they believe this minimizes the stress of making weight on the athletes and helps with retention, but from my end, it just leads to a bunch of Freshman who have no idea how to actually make weight.
 
Without a governing body for MS wrestling, it's really kind of like the Wild West. Every time one of our MS teams heads to a different county, there's new weight classes, some count forfeits for points, some don't, some weigh in before duals, some don't. It's just crazy. If there was a way to organize it all so it was uniform, I'm certain that schools would benefit.

This tournament is for ALL Freshman and Sophomores who DID NOT PLACE in the IHSAA State Championships. This includes wrestlers who competed at Varsity, Junior Varsity and Freshman levels during the High School season.
