Bearhugger and his generation are spoiled by "everyone gets a participation medal". If forfeits become a problem at state then the WVSSAC isn't going to come up with a comprehensive formula to decide who is the first alternative. Their solution will be much simpler, downsize with only the...

So how is that improve seeding from THE JR STATE TOURNAMENT? And how is the 7 and 8 seed automatic by region if automatic 7 and 8 seed wrestler lost head to head to unseeded wrestlers?

Why did they give byes to the top seeds? Your best wrestlers can't score bonus points with byes and shouldn't be penalized for attaining the top seeds. Byes should be drawn randomly by rule book. Is this St. Albans first rodeo at running a tournament? I can't believe the coaches agreed to this.

Lucas Simpkins is this year Dutton Award winner. He's the best pound for pound wrestler in the state.

The wvywa is to much like government gun-control. To many back ground checks. Just have an open tournament on one weekend and be done with it.

I think the votes are a stunt to draw more interest when they meet up in Huntington. An attendance ratings ploy. Kind of like the Miss Universe pageant.
