Why are brackets now not available until 1:30

Brackets are not official until after the Coaches Meeting at 1 p.m. even though we had our Seed Meeting on Wednesday evening.

We knew yesterday that there were going to be at least 2 if not more significant scratches that would totally affect brackets and redraw. KSHSAA gives regional sites the option of 10 a.m. or after the Coaches Meeting. We chose the second one.

We are up to 4 scratches this morning!

Counted the number of wrestlers in each 4A and 321A regional. Pulled the numbers off TRACKWRESTLING.

4A. 224 first round slots (16 bracket tournament X 14 weight classes = 224 slots). Total 4A wrestlers (4 X 224 slots) = 896 4A first round slots.
-Burlington : 184 wrestlers for 82% fill (40 byes)
-Colby :170 wrestlers for 76$ fill (54 byes)
-Holton l :153 wrestlers for 68% fill (71 byes)
-Winfield :152 wrestlers for 68% fill (72 byes)
4A Total 896 first round slots, 659 wrestlers for 74%fill, 237 opening byes.


321A. 224 first round slots (16 bracket tournament X 14 weight classes = 224 slots). Total 321A wrestlers (4 X 224 slots) = 896
-Douglas :156 wrestler for 70% fill (68 byes)
-Hoisington :148 wrestlers for 66% fill (76 byes)
-Sabetha :181 wrestlers for 81% fill (43 byes)
-Wakeeney :170 wrestlers for 76% fill (54 byes)
321A Total 896 first round slots, 655 wrestlers for 74% fill, 241 opening byes.

Would have hoped for better numbers. Way too many byes.

Added: Saw only one regional and one weight class with less than 4 wrestlers: Hoisington 106 lbs with 3 wrestlers. Does that get one wrestler to state winning only the bye in the losers bracket (open round 1 vs bye, 2 vs 3, losers bracket 3 vs bye, championship 1 vs 2)

It was a great day at the Burlington Class 4A Regional on Friday.

We will be streaming the 3rd Place Consolation Finals also!!

Good Luck to all Day #2 Regional Wrestlers!

There are more than 16 teams at a 321A regional. Therefore your fill rates need to be adjusted.
