Guarantee ppl would not drag their feet on reporting results! Some Ppl think rankings don't matter and in relation to getting your guy prepped for a guy and competing it doesn't but when it comes to getting a kid looked at for college (I know many big schools only care about grades and National scene usually) opportunites and having  educated insight on the quality and depth of our talent then Rankings are huge..

 

Then you add the seeding purposes in this kind of scenario, if needed...I appreciate the heck out of the hard work these guys dedicate and volunteer and too many times does it get taken for granted..I think we're going in a better direction and would like to know if we're improving in the Result reporting @Y2CJ41 do you have any stats on that or a guess on that? I'm going to make it a obligation next year too at least report NC results better and insert big results that I see that haven't been entered in the significant result categories that I see across the board.. I'm a stat head and enjoy doing that stuff.. Anyways I think we all can agree there needs to be Wrestle backs at SS and state!

My point is that IndianaMat is fantastic but they do rely on people to report matches. If someone doesn’t report a match, then they don’t know that that happened.

WOW some of these brackets are a joke!  195 has 3 of the top 4 in semi-State rankings on one side of the bracket.  Someone needs to learn how bracketing works!

Not a knock on Indiana Mat, but some of these rankings are inaccurate. To be fair, there are so many matches and wrestlers so it is hard to keep up with. Going off of rankings for the brackets would be very stupid. Go off of who that person beat and how he did in their regional.
