| Junior High Registered: September 24, 2007 Posts: 527 | posted If it is like years past they will throw out the 5 match limit rule. I believe this happened back in 2001 and in the late 90s. Can't remember that far back for sure. |
NCAA All American Location: Helena, MT, USA Registered: October 21, 2002 Posts: 1760 | posted In 2001 some districts had to do the 'wait and see', where if you were beat in the first round your fate rested in the hands of the one who beat you. If he won, you were in the tournament; if he lost you were done. When did this get changed at the state tourney? 1985? Some districts wrestled it all in one day even though Colgate told them that they couldn't. One match was held after midnight on saturday to appease the 5 match limit per day.......funny stuff!

Worse than having to forfeit third. It could mean somebody forfeits the right to qualify for state if NSAA does what they did last time. Districts were cut to one day and wrestlers who lost in the first round did not get to wrestle back in the consolations unless the wrestlers who beat them in the first round won in the second round. At that time, and several times since, I urged coaches to contact NSAA and ask for a different storm plan. I proposed that all wrestlers be able to participate in consolation wrestle backs. If the third place match would have been the sixth match for someone then go to criteria as follows: ALL CRITERIA IN THIS DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Head to head I don't remember the exact criteria and it would take me a week to find it but it was something like this: Mosts pins, forfeits, disqualifications Most tech falls Most major decisions Most near fall points Fewest penalty points against Fewest stalling warnings against Most takedowns Most reversals Most escapes Which mother baked the best chocolate chip cookies If none of these criteria decide a winner spit the team points, give each wrestler a third place medal, and flip a coin to decide which wrestler will be placed in the state tournament brackets as the third place winner and the fourth place winner. Let's get the 4 best kids to state even if they aren't placed on the right bracket lines. I emailed that post to Darin Boysen last fall but haven't heard from him. A few emails from coaches could jog his memory. I attended the Valley district that year and he was there with his North Bend team. I don't remember having anyone denied the right to wrestle back, but it could happen. In the RESULTS section I see a lot of times that someone has to forfeit third place because of having wrestled five times that day. I suggest that you tournament directors adopt something like this. It would be a shame if the team title was decided on a forfeit that was unavoidable. It would also be a shame if that forfeit entered into district seeding. |

It cannot figure into the seeding meeting outside of winning percentage for the wrestler who receives the win. The wrestler who has to forfeit is not charged with a loss in that scenario. I just had an email conversation with Darin this morning about this. |

Varsity Letterman Location: Stanton, NE Registered: December 18, 2002 Posts: 919 | posted NWI, I remember 2001 Districts, senior year. We did the 2 day tourney, but there were thoughts of having fans and wrestlers sleeping in the gyms. I think what happened was they cut 1st round wrestle backs until Saturday and just wrestled 1st round and quarter-finals, which makes a long day for Saturday. Ever hear of the coach that couldn't coach his wrestler out of a wet paper bag; I was coaching the wet paper bag. |

And will state wrestling too be white? Ever hear of the coach that couldn't coach his wrestler out of a wet paper bag; I was coaching the wet paper bag. |

| Rookie Registered: November 05, 2008 Posts: 64 | posted So say the director decides to hold the tournament letting every school know at 8:00 AM. If school A gets canceled at 6:00 am that morning, and there are guidelines by the school that say extra curriculars are not allowed on a snow day which would not allow the team to travel. Would School A just not be allowed to participate at districts? |
| Rookie Registered: March 21, 2005 Posts: 181 | posted A number of years ago, I thought before the 2001 cluster, we were assigned to Districts in Malcolm (when I was coaching at Franklin),a pretty good stones throw away. We were the only school that would not have been able to make it because of a blizzard out "west". We had to call Rex Jones at the NSAA office and plead our case that we could not travel with the present weather conditions. Lucky for us, the NSAA "told" them to postpone to a one day district. I think that they would have had the tournament without us if Rex hadn't got involved. Coach Meyer |
