My only thoughts are that the byes should be drawn but evenly distributed.
We want matches, we want the "tune up", we want more opportunities to wrestle and earn wins and team points.
I am tired of my son getting byes in tournaments. Many tournaments that we have been to they just assigned the byes to the seeded wrestlers.
That's probably typical when a basketball guy is running a meeting or a tournament director just wants to get done with the meeting quickly. I don't remember the exacting wording in the rule book, but I think it's recommended and not mandated.
