I feel like this is great in theory, but it is not a cure all solution. Yes I will agreee, many times I have seen the best two wrestlers meet in the semi finals of a tournament. One goes on to take first, and the other walks his/her way into third. It happens on all levels including high school and college, but I dont see them having "challenge" matches. My problem with the challenge match is that we have experienced it. My son has taken 2nd at Tulsa Nationals on 2 occasions and been challenged each time. You CAN NOT lose the championship match and expect the wrestler to be at the same level for a challenge match. It does not happen. Fortunately, he won both, one in overtime the other by 4 pts. The overtime wrestler we have defeated by 6 or more points each time after. The 4 pt. match, we have beaten by 10 pts. What I am saying is that the Championship loser is not the same wrestler and is at a HUGE disadvantage mentally: so it can also be argued, (justifiably) that you dont get a TRUE 2nd place in alot of "challenge" matches either. This is just an opinion from experience of the challenge match. It takes more than just 30 minutes or so to get over a defeat at a tournament that means so much to these wrestlers. That really needs to added into the equation of whats "fair" also.
