Legrider - I should have clarified earlier that when my boys go in as A wrestlers, it is at the Roundrobin style tournaments, with many brackets per weight, that seem common to many tournaments in western KS. They are afraid of travelling to a tournament and ending up in a 5 man robin with below average wrestlers.
I've never thought about it enough to worry about seedings in an 8 or 16 man bracket. We just go in as Bs and take what we get there.
