That is not exactly true what you stated about nobody has ever been concerned about this before. I believe it has been debated by myself and others about every year over the last four years at least. I recently bumped up a topic from 2003 to show someone that myself and another person were not always the ones to bring the topic up. I admit I have probably posted in favor of change about every year. I have a 9th grade son and I still support a format in which the 9th graders would not be wrestling 8th graders.

It is very evident though that the majority on this forum and the voting members on the State Body do not share this view. It is not likely to change in the near future. So at this point, I say to the supporters of our current format, congratulations you have won this fight and from what I can see by a big margin.
