Randy,

Art. 6: No student representing a member high school shall
participate in more than 18 events and no more than
30 competitions points during a season, exclusive of the
state championship series.
Dual 1 point
Double Dual 2 points
Quad (Triple Dual) 3 points
One-day Tournament 3 points
Two-day Tournament 4 points
NOTE: All multiple dual events and one-day tournaments
shall be scheduled after 3:00 p.m. on Friday or any time on
Saturday. Double duals and triple duals scheduled Monday through Thursday shall be after 4:00 p.m. Two-day tournaments
shall be scheduled on Friday and Saturday.
NOTE: Tournaments are defined as competition involving
more than four teams.


The math...
You get 30 points. 4 for a two day tournament, 3 for a one day tournament, 2 for a multi dual event and 1 for a single dual. There are 10 weekends. If you got five matches a day in 7 two day events that would be 70. You would have two points for one double dual. That would be eight events. or two single duals which would be nine events, either way that is 72. Before regional and state which would give you 8 more. Oh boy, that would be 80!!! IMPOSSIBLE!!!

(How is that for some research Sports0loser?!)
That is a joke! You cannot get 5 matches each day of a two day tournament and five matches in a one day tournament. It is mathematically possible but YOU CANNOT schedule that way because the opportunities do not exist! If you have a one day tournament with 12 teams (which is the maximum you can have in a standard bracket without causing a five match limit problem) the one seed will only get three matches. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a Kansas High School wrestler to get 72 matches! What is the record? Has anyone exceeded 200 matches in a four year varsity career? I don't believe so and that is just 50 matches per year. Many, many Kansas teams do not field a full lineup so that further diminishes match numbers. If your team is not in a league it is almost impossible to get matches the weekend before regionals. The point system allows more matches but it KILLS the weekday duals because coaches are unwilling (and rightfully so) to burn up points for 1, 2, or 3 matches.

Honestly can we just give up the 72 match hallucination! Under the current system a Kansas high school wrestler will be lucky to get 50. If you spend all of your time on the front side of a bracket and getting seeded where you get a bye, then 45 is a push. That is the reality side of the story.
