Normally this is one of the most entertaining topics on the board this time of year. This should be a wide open sectional this year with the 3A schools New Albany, Floyd Central and Jeffersonville having to be the favorites to fight it out for the team title, then for added spice Charlestown, Corydon, New Washington, Pekin, and Providence all have individuals capable of taking an individual championships. It could be one of the most entertaining sectionals in a while.

Pairings and Seeding A. Sectional pairings and seeding will be made at 7:00 p.m. on the Monday preceding the sectional tournament at the center school. 1. Each participating school in that sectional may have only 1 representative voting. Positions of contestants from schools not represented will be drawn by lot. 2. Six contestants shall be seeded in each weight class. Coaches are required to bring their official team scorebook and all of their weigh‐in sheets. A coaches’ failure to have his official team scorebook and his weigh‐in sheets shall result in his school’s entries being unseeded unless a majority of the other coaches present wish to seed the offending school’s wrestlers. 3. If a school does not have an entry in a weight class, then a forfeit shall be entered for that school in that weight class. EXCEPTION – When a school enters two (2) or less wrestlers in the IHSAA tournament series, the vacant weight classes created by this school’s entry into the tournament shall NOT cause a forfeit in the vacant weight classes. 4. A copy of the Official Entry List from each school shall be in the hands of the tourney director at the time of the seeding meeting. 5. Each coach shall specify to the Tourney Director his entrants for each weight class prior to the seeding meeting. If no representative is present at the seeding meeting, the first contestant listed on the official entry list who is eligible in a particular weight class will be entered in that weight class. 6. Pairings at this meeting shall be by lot after the seeding assignments are made. These pairings shall be final and will not be redrawn. 7. Only qualified alternate/s may be substituted after the seeding meeting. A qualified alternate is defined as any wrestler who meets the following criteria: a. possesses six (6) qualified weigh‐ins throughout the regular season, b. has not been seeded nor placed by draw at the IHSAA sectional seeding meeting, Page 77 of 79 c. is legally entered in his weight class or the weight class immediately above his weight class and is then eligible in either weight class. 8. If it becomes necessary to replace a seeded wrestler after the conclusion of the seeding meeting, the following procedures shall be implemented: a. all seeded wrestlers below the vacated spot shall move up one seeded position. The alternate shall be placed at the #6 seeded position. b. if an alternate is not available to be placed at the 6th seeded position, the last unseeded wrestler drawn shall be placed in the 6th seeded position.

Winter Bulletin Mandatory Procedures to Follow at the Sectional Seeding Meeting 1. Equipment and Supplies: Chalkboard/White Board, numbers and shaker bottle; sufficient chairs and tables; sufficient blank bracket sheets for each weight class and coach. Brackets will also be needed for classes in which all schools do not enter. 2. Have the head coach stand, introduce himself and his assistant and tell what school they represent. 3. Follow the conduct of tournament recommendations in the Official Wrestling Rules–Rule 10. 4. Each coach is to prepare a complete individual record of his wrestlers to be seeded including opponents’ names, schools and match scores. 5. Coaches should strive to keep open minds when seeding assignments are being decided. The main objective of seeding is to have outstanding wrestlers separated in the brackets so that they will not meet each other until the finals. Seeding shall be based upon the wrestler's proven ability and not upon the desire for unwarranted advantage. 6. Determination of seeded wrestlers is given in order of importance: a. Head to head competition; (The wrestler with the most head to head wins gets the seed. If they have beaten each other an equal number of times, then the winner of the last match gets the seed.); b. Record against common opponents; c. Semi‐State quarterfinalist in IHSAA Tournament Series; d. A contestant with the best overall record (winning percentage) who has wrestled at least 10 matches; e. Farthest advancement in previous year IHSAA State Tournament Series; f. Draw by lot. Criteria is reset after determining each seed. NOTE: A wrestler with less than ten matches may not be seeded ahead of a wrestler with at least ten matches and a winning record unless he/she meets criteria in a, b or c. A wrestler with a losing record may not be seeded unless he/she meets criteria a, b or c unless there are less than six (6) wrestlers in the bracket. 7. A seeded contestant shall have the same opportunity to draw for a bye as other contestants in his bracket.

Dont have to google him, very familiar with him, great kid, great story and great for the sport. I have seen him wrestle. New Albany is right across the bridge from Louisville where Fairdale High School wrestles.

My school is 3A - when we dont win there is no excuse

Agree, I would have to break out my inferential statistics books to calculate the margin of error, but I do agree it is most likely skewed towards the 1A A next step of analysis would be to identify the match scores between these 1A vs 3A to provide a high level gap analysis. The median/mode/st deviaion range of score would most likely be a more accurate assessment since I see a lot of xx - 0 scores in the data base that would hugely skew the data

That is a pretty significant statistic. Especially since many coaches building programs will try to schedule to what they perceive to be their level of competition as they get better.

Since the team score is comprised of overall individual competition at a high level the overall skill level of team can be derived from the team results. FFTs do skew this big picture analysis but as an overall it can give beginning insight into large school vs small schools. The larger the sample size the less the impact of the anomalies, so if you take 100% of the matches wrestled in Indiana as your sample the impact of Mater Dei and Carmel are negligible on the analysis. The reasons why and skill levels of individuals are a different level of analysis. but any change to the state level tournament would need to be by school population anyway. What is the 1A vs 3A total record so far this year in the dual results data base?

If you haven't been to the Ford Center, there is not a bad seat in the house.

Bad things about using track to help seed high school folkstyle events is that most tournaments in the off-season are age group oriented, majority of incoming freshman are schoolboy and are not allowed to make the jump and wrestle a junior level in the tournaments I have gone to. It also incorporates freestyle and greco results (this could be good or bad). Common sense between the coaches is probably the best criteria to keep in (as previously stated). Lately, thanks to sites like this one, more and more people know the freshman as they are entering high school and are quick to recognize these high performing middle schooler's in the seeding meeting.

= great wrestling for the next 3 years!

Rooks also has a pin over #15 Erickson of NA on 2 December at the HHC duals

Doing Great, concentrating more on the middle school now that Tre is at college. I hope things are going well for you!

Foster decisioned and pinned the 1 & 2 in Kentucky in consecutive matches. Both of which placed in the top 3 last year in the tournament at the same weight. He has not stayed idle himself. 152 was one of the deepest weight classes last year and this year both.

170 - Mosley, NA dec Hubner, AV 3-0 (they split on the tournament with both placing)

If you try to wait and go to just the finals you won't find a seat!
