DII is very very similiar to how we do things here in Kansas with a luck of the draw and top 4 from 4 regionals. The only thing they do different at regionals which I really like is they wrestle all matches out past 4th...so 5th/6th etc.

The winner of the 5th place match can challenge the loser of the 4th place match for "true fourth" and a spot to go to nationals if they win....however, if the guy that takes 4th beat you previously in the tournament...you can't challenge. If you beat the guy previously in the tournament, you have to still challenge him and prove the win to get the 4th.

I like the format because it gives some teams that wouldn't do great a wonderful chance to finish well, and it eliminates coaches from politicking like the DI's do in power conferences. You are only as good as you wrestle in DII....no seeds.
