For most smaller weekend pre-State qualifying tournaments, the current system is probably fine. I think it is okay for each tournament to set up their own rating system on their entry. I think a system like LegRider proposed would definitely be better for the bigger tournaments like the Salina, Topeka, and the Wichita-Park City Classic. These are three of the bigger tournaments that our club goes to every year for the best competition before the State series.

I would agree that the seedings really do not ultimately matter that much for the normal smaller weekend tournament, but I would prefer to see a more accurate seeding for these bigger tournaments. At these tournaments we are often going to the added time and expense of an overnight stay (sometimes two nights) and we really want a good competitive experience that will be close to the State tournament experience. In a situation like that we would rather not see the No. 1 and No. 2 wrestlers meet up in the first round. I have seen that twice already this year in two smaller tournaments. I did not think it was a big deal for these tournaments, but I would just like to see a more accurate seeding at these three bigger tournaments. I think LegRider's system would be more appropriate for these bigger tournaments and I would say that the accomplishments (State Champion, Placer, Qualifer should be for during the last two years).
