I like the 40-40-48-rest plan. I think we have to stick with a double elimination regional though. It may make a long day, but it is just one day. As a coach, I would rather a kid have to forfeit for 3/4th because of the 5 match rule as opposed to being one and done with a true pigtail match. For example at the Burlington regional, there were 12 seedable wrestlers at 160, and we ended up drawing the 4th thru 11th seeds because it was the endless circle of everyone had criteria over someone. It would be a shame to only get one chance by luck of the draw. It would not make that many more matches, and keeps it consistent. Pigtail them back in to the backside or 16 man brackets, either way.
