I still think that the State tournament should have the top sixteen wrestlers in the State going at it. Sure, you are going to have a wrestler or two have an off day or their competition has finally figured out a way to beat them, but when you see two 3-time State placers including one State runner up each (after qualifying for State the last five years) not going to State because their District was loaded, that is another story.
Meanwhile there is another District that fielded a four man round robin where one wrestler goes 0-3 and another goes 1-2. I will concede that the top two from that bracket would have had an excellent shot at moving on to State regardless of their District bracket.
