From the USAW-KS Kids Constitution:
Section III, Part B, Item 6
"6. The District State Director and his/her two Assistant State Directors will determine the number of qualifiers from Sub-District to District. Each District will have this responsibility."
As I stated in another thread, this is the rule that allows the practice of filling out the district brackets. Basically the power of how each district's 4 state qualifiers are picked is in your districts hands. If you want change then start by expressing that wish to your team representative. This is a “local” issue.
No body is doing anything wrong. There are various points of view on how to determine the four state qualifiers from a district. I am supportive of the idea of giving the kids another week to wrestle in a qualifying event.
As previously stated, our by laws only allow 4 representatives from each district to advance to the state tournament. This is also covered in Section III-Part B. I have mixed views on this step. Therefore, I would not advocate any change to the by laws without a full hearing on the issues…both pro and con.
