I think both have their advantages/disadvantages d1/2 wrestling in a 32 man bracket doesn't leave much room for error and seeding is way more import get it wrong and some one good can get left home. Although there aren't many like that there are a few. 8u 55 has 25 kids in d2 for a kid to wrestle out 6 backside matches to qualify vs 3 to a sub district. That isn't a disadvantage?

I feel subs gives that "bad day" or sick kid a second chance to heal up and make it back on district day. I feel subs give the true best 4 kids from each district.

Parents feel the extra expense of traveling another day, which has nothing to do with competition but is a disadvantage to the parents pocket book while non sub kids are home resting not risking injuries before district.

I know the committee is talking about doing away with subs and I might be the minority but if number do what we hope and keep growing. There will huge brackets to qualify. Maybe that makes Kansas wrestling better but I don't think it does. I think getting the best 16 to state should be the goal. Eliminating subs in my opinion puts that at risk.

The "put on your big pants" (which I used earlier) is ok when you not talking about 7-9 year olds.

Did you spend $100 last weekend to go to subs? Half of the state did I bet.

Yes that is a majority vote by the district body, which was ruled that the district has that control.

It is a advantage in both sides and disadvantages on both sides.

Those are my main point for having a consistent state series throughout the state, I have more but these are the one that stick out.
