Just wait til the seeds come out! Coaches, Wrestlers, and Fans are all going to complain and swear they could seed it better.
How many Little Johnny's are we going to have that did not get the seed they thought that they deserved and the seeding committee hates them?

A Blind draw eliminates all that!!!
it also makes every round exciting, could be 2 state champs wrestling in 1st round!
The only down fall is you do not always get the best matches in the finals!
