Sectional Breakdown...LincolnWay Central

[cementjob]

I get that it is easier to break up teams. I am not asking for an analysis of every weight class and then break them up. I am asking for a process that benefits wrestling just as they have implemented a process that benefits basketball.
All I am saying is that if the sectionals are set up according to geography which it appears as though they are, keep the regionals and sectionals the way they are but use the placer percentage system that the NCAA uses.

The more placers you have out of your sectional, the more qualifiers you get. It would not be that hard. Other states do it. So could we. There would still be some weight classes in some sectionals that there are great kids that don't make it down but it levels the playing field a little bit.

there is absolutely nothing wrong with how they are doing it......you have found ONE weightclass in ONE sectional, where the (MAYBE) the 7th best wrestler in the state at his weightclass wont get a chance to go down state(oh wait.....he actually DOES have a chance)...

so lets just throw the whole system out and come up with another one that will no doubt at least as many of these "injustices"...

Ya and they are actually having the same discussion in the NFL. Oh ya and I believe I stated that if, if the rankings are accurate, this is a topic of discussion not a bash or endorsement of anything. The disscusion was about LWC so maybe thats why we are talking about a certain sectional or weight class. That said, no matter your opnion or feelings the idea is to get the best kids to the state championship and under this system that doesn't all ways happen.

Lets face it if one sectional stretches from St. Louis to the southwest suburbs, to the Iowa border, to the Wisconsin border; then geography doesn't matter. I posted a month ago about this ridiculous sectional and got almost no reasonable feedback. If it looks , walks, and quacks like a duck...... The assumption that they couldn' swap Lockport with Bremen or HF with LWC or Providence is absured. I'm sure solutions near west and near north would work just as well and provide for a better individual as well as dual team championship.
