Re: Trackwrestling and Flo

I, who used ro live in WV. Offered to run it on track and even pay for the first year of it just for them to allow it. Hint - not the WVSSAC blocking the use of better technology. This is your hosting teams decision to use outdated software, why, because they can. Renewed offer: I won't pay for it f...

Re: Video replay

JW, you may want to review the rule yourself when applying rules. Under Rule 10-1 Authorization Article .2 Video recording is authorized unless prohibited by the state high school association. So according to the NFHS rule we can be allowed to video if the state association allows it. I completely ...

You may want to review rule 3-1, article 9 of the NFHS Wrestling Rules that says a referee may NOT use video.

Re: 138 AAA

Lost when sick. Was winning when pinned. Sounds like excuses. Either you win, lose, or don't wrestle, but if you step on the mat accept the result and move along.

Re: Seeding the State Tournament - Hybrid Pill

Just an FYI, WVYWA has been using this system for 7 years now and it has worked very well. take 6 from each of 4 regions and then seed the 4 regional champions and pill the rest. It was also suggested to the coaches committee at the 2020 State tournament. I know this because I gave this system to M...

Re: Memo from Bill Archer Regarding Seeding the State Tournament

Since the results of the season do not matter at all, and all that matters is the winner, the season can be reduced to one month of practice. A regional tournament, the pill that negates any work done during the season and the state championship. Season down from 4 months to 6 weeks, because that is...

Re: Memo from Bill Archer Regarding Seeding the State Tournament

Not that I care as much since I have moved from WV, but I decided to test how long it would take to dig up info without WV having a standard for officially entering all matches per wrestler prior to regions entry, which would help greatly. But the 182 that we speak of if your starting order was Stat...

Re: Top 5 ms wrestlers in each weight class

You need to refer to last year's melt down, ranking middle school wrestlers on this site is not allowed. It caused great problems and turmoil! Doc Miller said teams only on this site.

Should not effect anyone, as only two teams confirmed attendance, but if any teams had scheduled without closing the loop, wanted to ensure that you knew this event is cancelled and will not take place.

Re: High school weight classes changing in 20-21?

I disagree with it. For people who claim to be trying to grow a sport this is a negative. It will sideline and bench kids who would otherwise be competing.....PERIOD. Yes there are forfeits, but they are at every weight. PA can claim they have stats to support but their 106 Bracket was just as full ...
