Why not two Regionals?

Just curious as to what would be the drawback to have two regionals for AAA? AA/A? Large crowd draw and better chance of getting the 16 most talented wrestlers at the states in each weight class.

Regional alignments are worse than ive ever seen

Re: 2 things out of whack

While not perfect the plan below would be better than what we have now for AAA IMHO AA/A would have to have something different because of already huge numbers in regions. Separate AA & A maybe? . Combine 1 & 2 for a northeast region and 3 & 4 for a southwest region. Both regions qualif...

Re: Individual Rankings

Are the individual rankings really that important? Or just interesting for the fans to review, I know it may be about seeding for regionals but I don’t think rankings mean that much, time will tell who rises to the top. I know a few JVers that should be ranked ahead of who may be ranked but that’s a...

Re: Regional Maps

I was hoping maybe they did away with them and went to two big regionals and the top 8 from each go to the states. Probably help out with the shortage of referees, and have better chance of getting the best wrestlers to the states instead of a more talented 5th placer at regions watching kids they b...

Re: 2018 Brooke Classic teams

You’ve obviously never seen Erie Cathedral Prep wrestle. True but didn’t they beat them at Powerade? Think they may have had a couple different moves in weight classes at Brooke and all their guys in the lineup. South was actually missing 2 starters at Powerade. (170 and 182) They are a tough team,...

Re: Favorite Venue to watch wrestling in WV?

Let me put my two cents in. 1. It does take a mountain of people to VOLUNTEER to run a tournament like the State tournament. 2. Wheeling's baby is the O.V.A.C and I don't think they want to run two big tournaments. (could be wrong just a hunch) PLUS they run the super 6 up there. 3. The coliseum is...

So it seems like the State High School Tournament needs to change venue! Yes/No? If it is moved, then why can’t people from around the state help ensure it is a success? Wheeling, Charleston, Morgantown, Beckley, etc. Huntington just seems like a bad location and dirty town to host a large event. D...

Maybe he transferred schools cause he was JV in WV and couldn’t wrestle in regionals or states. Just kidding, but that’s what a lot of posts on this forum state on the JV kids that have superior talent when they lose their wrestle offs.

I understand that schools don't have full lineups and I am trying to stay objective. I really only see this as punishing the team with a full lineup.
