This guy was not too bad either...might be a little bias. 3rd/2nd/SQ/4th

Thanks for the responses guys. Totally get the scheduling conflict. Hopefully in the future the IHSWCA and the IHSAA can figure out a way in the future to allow teams to accept invites without compromising their current scheduling points.

They went a couple years ago and pretty sure Lorek wants to accept any invitation they are given, but I am not sure if they made the vote in spot for the tournament since.

I don’t think we would have the venue we have if the IHSAA did not care about wrestling. I am willing to bet that revenue wise, our State Tournament does pretty well for them in its current format. I am sure it being picked up for a Live broadcast helps with revenue as well. There in lies the problem I feel. Their thought is probably, if it ain’t broke, pun intended, don’t fix it. I do think it has been brought to light before that our coaches association sometimes struggles with getting the IHSAA to take them seriously with changes. Maybe we have to think outside the box to get our changes made to our tournament. What that is I don’t know, but hopefully moving forward we can see some steps being taken in a positive direction.

I noticed earlier that qualification weight is not considered, so does that mean that a kid that qualified at an actual qualifier(North, South, or Indy) can wrestle a lower or higher weight class this weekend if so desires?
