3. KSHSAA also needs to eliminate the seeding criteria that states �Contestants with losing records should not be seeded, unless they meet other criteria.� We have several wrestlers every year that qualify for state with losing records. Obviously, since they placed they deserved to be seeded. We have no idea why they have a losing record, maybe they had a slow start acclimating to varsity, maybe they had a tough schedule, maybe they had an injury and tried to wrestle through it. And maybe, just maybe they have not seen any competition in the regional tournament. A wrestler with a record of 19-20 should have the same opportunity to be seeded as one with a record of 20-19. This statement takes all the common sense out of seeding.
