In re your query: Hope you have a perpetuation plan in place! The answer is, no. If I croak tonight, the website dies tomorrow. That is the curse of the Internet. There is no permanency. Newspapers are microfilmed and placed in libraries. A hundred years from now the 1/1/17 edition of the Parkersbur...

In answer to your question: First set of individual rankings to be released this Wednesday, along with the 3rd Team poll. http://wvmat.com/polls/polls.htm A few words about the polls: I am sure that the first set of Individual Rankings will be open to fair criticism. There are match results we don't...

PLEASE SEE MY COMMENTS IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS: The first rule you need to change is "each region shall only have 4 wrestlers per weight class." THEN IT SHOULD BE CHANGED SINCE THERE ARE SOME REGIONS THAT HAVE WEIGHT CLASSES WITH ONLY 2 TO 3 WRESTLERS. RULES GET CHANGED EVERY SEASON. A FEW...

Note from Coach Bill Archer: RE: 5th place taking empty slots: The first rule you need to change is "each region shall only have 4 wrestlers per weight class." Next big problem is to decide what 5th place wrestler you let come. When I checked the last time I could not find a state that let...

From the Editor: WV-Mat / Coaches are continually working on the first set of individual rankings, hope to release January 4. Yes, this looks pretty close to the list we are generating. I try to check out such posts to see what the fans know that we don't. (smile). 106: Windland/ South Holt/CM Marro...

From the Editor: Received this Item from Coach Bill Archer: "In the high school rule book you receive 4 points for a default, forfeit, DQ or fall. A single wrestler in a state tournament would receive 4-7-13-6 for a max of 30 points. Wrestlers in the state tournament receive all points as if it...

I received this query:

"I am wondering when states and regionals are . My son wrestles independent and we have done 3 qualifying tournaments and we are still wrestling but I just want to make sure I put him in for regionals .. we are region 2 ."

Will someone answer?

Hello MalcolmFlex

Please cool it with the trash talk.

Intercepted Memo: There are no byes at the state tournament. They are not called byes because they are not by state tournament rules scored as byes. They are scored as a default or forfeit depending on how it is reported. Who ever has a match in the defaulted position receives the same points as if ...

Anybody have info?

From the Editor: Reliable sources indicate that the 2017 State Tournament will award team championship honors for BOTH AA and A. AA and A will still wrestle together as a single group, and individual champs will still be combined AA/A as before, but the change is that team scores will be noted to re...
