Re: Mom Brawl At States

The finals match controversy was a different episode. That was a total sh@# show by the refs. They let it go to ot and awarded the wheeling kid with the win. Then after a looong conversation post match they reversed the call and awarded the Intensity kid the win. The mom brawl occured before that. H...

Mom Brawl At States

I saw a commotion in the stands at states. I was told it was a mom from Intensity wrestling and a mom from Cougars wrestling that got into a fist fight. Guess they don't call us the hillbilly state for nothing! Stay classy folks!

Re: WVYWA CHAMPIONSHIPS

I like the idea of a split session as well. That would take care of several issues.

Re: WVYWA CHAMPIONSHIPS

Several mats being empty throughout the day is not efficient. Period! When you have over 1k wrestlers being efficient is critical. Kids were wrestling near 10:00 at night on day 1. Thats a problem. Run the next bout to the open mat. Get off the mic and wrestle! Announcing every wrestler for 2 days d...

Re: WVYWA

I agree. Not allowing the on deck match to be by the mat ready to go and announcing every match is ridiculous! Nobody wants to hear a guy on a mic all day long. Slows everything down and gives me a migraine at the same time. How are they not better than this by now?

WVYWA CHAMPIONSHIPS

So 5 out of 8 mats not being used and announcing each kids name to wrestle is the most efficient way to run a state tournament I guess?? Junior States here I come!

Nobody submits the results. Once they make their money they are done. I tried to get the clarksburg results. At least they're consistent. Crappy all the way around.

Re: Clarksburg Tourney Start Time

The tournament moved forward because there was 12-15k on the line. Track has been around for years. If you host a tournament using track I suggest you get familiar with the software or have someone who knows run it for you. Before the system crashed the start time was 11:45!!!

Re: Wvywa states areana size???

Split session would solve most of the issues. We did have a GREAT turn out! Over 900 kids was awesome! There were 3 people working the concessions with 1 line to order. There shouldve been three or four people taking orderd and three or four more getting food. They were extremely under staffed. That...

Re: Wvywa region results

You don't have a seeding meeting if you do the pill system. And to my understanding that's what they were doing. You seed the 4 region champs. If the region champs have not wrestled all year or have common opponents then it can get complicated seeding. Some kids wrestle up all year and drop down fo...

Re: WVYWA Championships Agenda

Shouldn't the regional champ and 4th place from that region be on the same half of the bracket while 2nd & 3rd place from that region are on the opposite half? All of the brackets I have looked at have the regional champ and 3rd place on one half while 2nd & 4th are on the other half. Wow!!...

WVYWA Numbers

Whats the numbers on kids who attended regionals? I know not all of them will be attending states but most will be. I heard over 300 in one region and around 200 in the others. That would be 900 to 1k kids. Is that accurate?

Is it true that YWA championships will be held in Beckley next two years? I hope not! Beckley is secluded and a long ways for most people around the state to travel. I would keep it closer to the bigger towns in wv. Charleston, morgantown etc. Beckley is sort of out in the sticks! I guess this is a...

Seeding is never going to be perfect no matter what.

Re: Seed Meeting

Thanks for the info! I still think head to head competition should trump regional results as far as seeding goes. Regionals should be more for qualifying purposes rather than seeding purposes. If the top 2 kids in the state are out of the same region then that guarantees one of those kids wont even ...

But those six kids have distinguished themselves as the winners of their region. Those should be the best six at that weight class.
