I don't completely disagree with your reasoning Spratdad. I guess I just look at it from wanting to be competitive year in and year out. We are a small school and getting better, but it is very hard to fill 14 year in and year out. I actually had 4 103 lb kids this year, but only one of them belongs on a varsity mat. Too often I am thinking more about weight and trying to get kids to cut to fill a spot or my 189 weighs 175 but wrestles up so the team we are dueling can have a match there. It would help a lot with competition in my room and putting a better product out on the mat if we only had to fill 12 classes. I also think it would make tournaments and duels tougher.
