I will try to give an example of how this might work using the 4A 152 pound bracket from last year. Hopefully everyone can see that we still use the random drawing from the States formula and then just make one or two switches of Regionals to hopefully correct the parings. In some or even many cases, the States formula may already solve this problem and noone is even moved. No one even needs to know which weight classes have been changed, since the pairing would go to the panel first and not the Coaches. Hopefully this will Paste in here OK.
Sample Tournament Seeding Wt. 152 Seeding Criteria Used:
1 State Champion
2 State Placer
3 Overall Record
Elliott being the returning State Champion will be seperated from Schroeder
who is a returning runner-up.
Allen from Clay Center is a State Placer but is not in consideration due to
not being a Regional Champion. ( Only Regional Champions are seeded)
Overall record was used to determine which Champion from the top half would
move to the bottom. Mason's 39-8 is a better record than Wilsons 24-10.
Therefore, Mason will change places with Elliott and their Regional placers wil
follow the format in their respective places.
