I also like the thought process here. But I think 4 didtricts is the magic number but back fill empty spots with 5th and 6th place finishers.
Use the state pairings to set as a priority for the back fill.
If its 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 and there's an open spot in D2 the D3 gets 1st option to fill it with its 5th place person.
If there's 2 spots the you go thru all the 5th place people and the thru the 6th place people.
I like the ideas here!

Mr. Geyer, at no time did I say they need the break, I just implied that some WANT or WOULD LIKE the break. Im quite sure those representing Kansas have NOT taken a break, and as far as Kansas looking foolish, I think we will be well represented. Thank you to all that have put in all the hard work organizing a team for this National tournament to make ensure our state progresses in the sport & gives the other wrestlers something to work towards.

I personally know of one HS STATE CHAMPION that was signed up for subs and then withdrew because he was offered a spot on the dual team., so yes it does affect the state series.

RUNNL8,
Knowing some of these athletes i am sure they have worked extremely hard in the practice room so they can represent Kansas wrestling well at this tournament. These wrestlers have always been hard workers or they would not have had the success they have had in their career. But in your earlier statement you said that some of these kids needed a break (not in those exact words) that is why they are not in the kids series. I was simply saying that is not the reason they are not wrestling kids, the reason some of these athletes are not wrestling the Kansas series is because they were presented with this event, therefore the high-school numbers are down, which is what this thread is about. I wish the kids on this Kansas team the best of luck and i know they will represent Kansas well!!

These are my exact words.

Exactly, some are wanting to take a "break" after the long intense high-school season... point made from my earlier post
