Alright, my bad, I get it now. This is the State Championship, and the best sixteen wrestlers in Kansas get to wrestle for it all. That is, unless your District has eight wrestlers and can only qualify four, while another District has only two and the other two (byes) would beat the 5th/6th place finishers out of your District (even though they don't wrestle for it). This has nothing to do with my son this year as he went two and out in one of the toughest 8-man District brackets in the state. This has to do with filling sixteen spots at the State tournament to see who can win in all. I don't feel real good about writing this as I am normally trying to inject humor in a talk forum about of a very tough sport. I am the idiot for not knowing the rules, if they are the rules, that a District can wrestle an alternate at State while another District can't compete against a bye.
