Re: Forfeits
Having forfeits be worth less than Falls would lead to more forfeits. In close duals or dual tournaments there would be incentive to give the other team a forfeit rather than send out your inexperienced wrestler if you know the other teams wrestler is likely going to get a fall. I like the idea of r...

Re: 2017 Regions - Intercepted Memo
I too would love to see a 32 man bracket, all schools in one bracket.
Then, award team championships to both the A/AA and AAA team who scores the most points, or even the A, AA and AAA teams.

Re: HUNTINGTON / CABELL MIDLAND MATCH
Looks like CM was without some guys?
Isnt their 106 #1 ranked...and didnt wrestle?
And forfeited several of the upper weight classes. Im assuming they typically have guys in those weights.
Still, good solid win for Huntington.

Have the results of all those matches you reference been posted to wvmat? If not, that is the answer to your "Im not sure how you can beat this guy and that guy..."

Re: Midland / Huntington
106, 126, 160, 182, 285 all have ranked wrestlers for both teams.
So there is potential for some good matches. Probably many others borderline being ranked.

Sometimes results are not posted so they are not factored in. Sometimes things may be inadvertently overlooked. The coaches have an opportunity to chime in before the rankings are released in an effort to get things as accurate as possible. If you feel something has been overlooked, emailing the add...

re: 145 Gibson actually won 8-3 over Green (wrong score entered on wvmat). I would expect a rematch to be a good contest. Maybe at WSAZ or MSAC. In regards to rankings at this point, Green at #2 makes sense. His resume for the season is solid, and he is a returning state placer. Someone mentioned Gi...

He looked good for being away for over a year. Once he gets in a little better mat shape, he will likely be in the mix to place at states.

Re: JV Wrestlers
My biggest objection to allowing JV wrestlers into the tournament would be the impact it would have on team scoring. And, we must keep in mind the idea of representing your team (your school), and there only being so many weight classes...and so many teams. 1. The JV wrestlers would be taking the pl...

Re: P I L L
Its not very often that there are two wrestlers who are without a doubt the best two in the weight class. You may think White was #2. He was undefeated entering the tournament. But that doesnt mean he was the second best wrestler. He was pinned by Daniels in the semi-final match, and only won his th...

Re: P I L L
Maybe 106...Luke Martin seemed to clearly be the #2 and loss to Humphreys in the semis. Burdette made the finals in the other bracket...who Martin had beat 10-1 earlier in the year.
But in general I agree with you Bearhugger.

They simply do not all wrestle each other t...

The pill is the fairest way to do it. Maybe the first and second best guys meet sometimes in the semis. So what. Its often debatable who #2, #3 and #4 is anyways. Rarely is it crystal clear.

Re: West Virginia Jr. States
Scheduling most regional tournaments the same day as Junior States is ridiculous. Whats the goal? To provide the kids with quality wrestling tournaments? Or to get into a long-term competition with Junior States resulting in both tournaments being significantly weaker than they should be?

It would be easy to have one bracket for all and award separate A, AA and AAA team titles. How would that be crushing small schools?

No way do we need 3 classifications. One cannot simply look at the number of teams. If anything, all classifications should be combined.

Re: The Pill
The last thing we need is for coaches to be in a room arguing for hours over which regional champion should be seeded 1, 2, 3 and 4. Dumb luck is a fairer process.
