As last year's state champ my son also was seeded low in his bracket this weekend in Salina. He was seeded 5th behind 3 kids he beat at state last year and came up against the #1 seed in the 2nd round. My son did beat him and went on to win. But it made that #1 seed end up in 3rd vs the 2nd he should have been. At the very least my son should have been 2nd seed with being in the lower age division last year.
I understand that they just took all the "A" wrestlers and put them in the top however many wrestlers there were seeds. In this instance, a better rating system could have been used to seed better. For what it is worth, this I think could work for the bigger tournaments to seperate the 5 or 6 "A" wrestlers who enter.
