These are all good comments and arguments. But if you look at the Criteria you will see that Outstanding Record is the only record mentioned. It is also only considered in the event of other things being equal. Even then, if you will notice, I used outstanding records as an example 30-0. Any kid with 4 or 5 losses still may be the best kid but that is a good record not an outstanding one. My intent for record is to again only seperate the two who stand out. Two undefeated records with a adequate number of matches (I would say at least 20) should probably be seperated IF NO OTHER CRITERIA TAKE EFFECT.

On any given year there are going to be weak or strong weights in all Regionals. We all have cases of that and many times possible State Placers get left at home. The one good thing about the 2 best wrestlers in the state being in the Regional together is that they will be seperated at State reguardless of pairings.

Keep the suggestions coming. Just remember:
1.The KSHSAA is not going to have a seeding meeting for this.
2. It must be something which can be accomplished quickly so the pairings can still come out sometime Sunday after the Regionals
3. Criteria for determining the seperations need to be easy to determine. (NOTICE I SAID "SEPERATIONS" NOT SEEDS)
4. Remember we still have to wrestle the matches. No formula or seeding will take care of kids wrestling the best or worst tournament of their career. That is what makes the sport so exciting.
