[poptart]

How will they seed the state brackets? i know they are only seeding sectional champs, but to what criteria will those champs be seeded to?? also when will the pairings come out??

I am looking for the same I was sure I had read that they would be out right after the sectionals finishing. Anybody know when they will be out?

Here you go....

Returning state champion at that
weight class .......................................35 points
Returning state champions at any
weight class .......................................30 points
Undefeated wrestler (minimum of 20
matches) ............................................20 points
37 or more wins..................15 points
32 to 36 wins ......................10 points
27 to 31 wins ........................7 points
22 to 26 wins ........................5 points
Returning 2nd or 3rd place winner at
that weight class ................................25 points
Returning 4th, 5th or 6th place winner
at that weight class ............................20 points
Returning place winner at any weight
class 15 points
Returning state qualifier at any weight
class 10 points
If tied for a place, flip of a coin would
determine the seed of the wrestlers for placement
of that seed on the bracket, except for the
number one (1) seed and if the returning champ
at that weight class is tied for the number one
(1) seed, the returning champ will be seeded
number one (1).

Thanks for the posting but I was looking for the pairings ...any idea when they will be up? You did such a good job on the seeding criteria I thought I would tap the well one more time lol.

[TR58]

yeah i would like to know the pairings as well

They are actually deciding where the sectional champs go in the bracket based on the criteria listed. Then the #2 for each sectional, #3 get placed according to the sample bracket.

What happens when the wrestler who would have been the number one seed does not make it to state? Will the sectional champ in that bracket get his points?

WOW!!! this is so stupid! why all of a sudden they are going to seed the state tournament and for what reason. this is so rediculous to tell you the truth how they split the classes up into three classes is rediculous the ihsa is only hurting themselves tho because there are going to be so many kids at single a state that suck that its going to make the ihsa look dumb. I remember whenever i was in high school when it was actually a task to get to the state tournament...dont get me wrong there are some good kids this year...but also a lot of not so good kids. Why are they seeding the state tournament now? why didnt they whenever we had more competition in the past? then you wouldnt get matches like blanton and spangler in the semis...im disgusted with the ihsa after this year...

The criteria is for the sectional champs only. Example...(I hope I have this correct)

152
#1 seed - Murphy with 40 points, 30 for returning champ at another weight
10 for number of wins.

#2 seed - Ball with 25 points, 15 for returning 4th place at another weight, 10 for number of wins.

#3 seed - Gill with 17 points, 10 for returning state qualifier, 7 for number of wins

#4 seed - Birt - 15 for number of wins...did not qualify last year.

Does that help?

If I have this figured wrong, somebody PLEASE tell me.....

The sectional champs are seeded. NOT who anyone believes should have made it. The sectional champs only, based on the above criteria.
