I think it's unfair. If you don't make the top 4 your season should be over. I know some weights and age groups some kids slide all the way through to state. And in some instances those kids have been wrestling up two weights over their weight all year.(most of the kids my son has wrestled this year have been two weights up, but at state he going to see some good competition) What if a top seed had a bad weekend at subs and placed 5th. I don't think that wrestler should have a chance to make to state. He/she was eliminated. Also, I don't think that average wrestler that took 5th or 6th should get a chance to knock off any wrestlers at District. If that's the case, let's just skip subs. Each district seed every kid within that district. Get our top 4 and move on to state. Do this in two weeks instead of two. Or just take every wrestler that wants to wrestle at the state level. Seed the top 8 and draw in everyone else. Those would be some nice big brackets. The seeding meeting would be fun. Now we're down to 1 week of wrestling. That's just how I feel about it.
