I reviewed the entire constitution. No where does it state that five wrestlers MUST be placed into a eight man, double elimination bracket or a five man round robin bracket. It has been left WIDE open. I strongly feel in order to have standardization across the state this rule:

FOLKSTYLE TOURNAMENTS
13. Rules Modifications (references to NFSHSA rules book):
Rule 10-4
In the event of a bracket with three or four wrestlers, there WILL be a round robin. In the event of a two-man bracket they will wrestle the best two out of three matches.

Should be presented as change to "In the event of a bracket with five, four, or three wrestlers there WILL be a round robin."

This small but necessary change would wipe out the gray area.
