don't repeat yourself then..............enjoy the Florida sun and stop posting.  Simple fix to your agonizing problem

I have no vested interest in the ISWA. I'm not a Board Member. I am extremely frustrated that no matter what other people come up with as a suggestion, the 3 people you mentioned and a few others do whatever they can to shoot it down because it's not their suggestion nor does it benefit their kid or agenda.
I also believe that the people who are on the ISWA Board are good people. I know they are honest hard working people. Some have questioned their integrity which is way off base. I don't agree with every decision they have made, but I have never questioned their integrity.

Georgia High School Association approves to add yet another Classification to their States Wrestling Championships going from 6 to 7 classes.
What the largest Class Wrestling State ?
State Championships for everybody in Georgia !
Want a State Championship you move to Georgia. #ridiculous #waterdowncompetition

Congrats on contributing to the wussification of society.  Make sure they get a ribbon and a smile to go along with their A$$ whoopings.

They can go to Local Freestyle tournaments. National Duals should be the best of the best.

Like Italy for example

I disagree.  How would we know someone like Alex Dieringer wasn't ready? What if he showed up and blitzed Burroughs twice? Obviously that didn't happen, but he deserved an opportunity. 
 
So based on this criteria of people getting elected, J'Den Cox doesn't make the team because he wouldn't have enough points? This all seems so silly.  

I would never understate the significance of participating in the Olympic Games.

Red has nothing to prove, you are right.
 
However when you accept an invitation to a prestigious event you make a commitment to also make the weight. The committee paid for his hotel, a FLIGHT, meals, event activities, and gear for him to wrestle. In total he probably received around $750 in perks to wrestle. Then when you show up 9lbs over weight and don't attempt to make it there is a big issue. To compound it we as a state were there and it made not only Red look bad, but our whole state. It was NOT a fun conversation with the committee, nor was it in my itinerary for the weekend. To put it rather bluntly it was an extremely embarrassing situation to be a part of and there is no other way to put it.

Your CONTINUAL attempt at humor at other people's expense makes you a tool IMO. Enough already. 

Your Region jokes are played.

Region should be capitalized in this case because it is a definite location, make sure you get yourself together before you call someone out. Here's a literary term for you to learn, it's called irony, like calling someone out for their "non-English" skills and then you yourself having trouble with simple grammar rules.

Because it's all about the Benjamin's baby....

There's no doubt they have more depth than us and far outdo us by almost any metric.  But we are very, very strong by our standards this year at the top of almost every weight.  According to national rankings, we would be favored in 6 of 14 matches in a straight-up, best-guy-available dual against Illinois right now.  We also had a national Top 20 guy not place and a Top 5 national guy place 7th (both of those guys were ranked based on many out-of-state victories over top competition in the offseason).  Our depth isn't Illinois' depth and we would be fooling ourselves to think so, but we're a strong state compared to the rest of the country.

Ironically, a strong argument could be made that Illinois' one 4x undefeated champ, Josh Alber, would not have been a 4xer, much less undefeated, in Indiana. The unbiased truth is that every undefeated wrestler throughout history, no matter the era or state, needed some luck and timing to go even one season undefeated. Alber isn't the greatest Illinois wrestler of all time, but the stars were aligned for him.

But would Suriano go undefeated in Illinois is the real question 

Do nothing.  Wait for class wrestling to solve the problem.

Karl,
 
It seems you subscribe to the George Costanza school of logic: "It's not a lie if you believe it." 
 
Like it or not, it appears the majority opinion is to keep wrestling classless (pun intended)

I think I heard Marco Rubio use the same logic last night trying to explain why he's still going to win the Republican nomination
