This tournament will also be using head to head competition to seed wrestlers. Coaches will have from 02/18/2014 at 10:01 p.m. until 02/19/2014 at 10:00 p.m. to login and indicate the other wrestlers in the bracket that their wrestler has beaten. The wrestlers will first be placed in order using the seeding criteria above, then any wrestler that has beaten a wrestler within 1 slot(s) above him and has not lost to any wrestler below the wrestler will get moved ahead of the wrestler he/she beat. If a wrestler has beaten a wrestler but lost to another wrestler below the wrestler he/she beat, that wrestler will not be moved.


KSHSAA Manual-

1.G Wrestler’s Record
The code of ethics and creed for wrestling coaches contains clear guidelines that the KSHSAA expects all coaches to adopt
and to follow. Coaches should expect wrestlers who are qualified to compete to wrestle any and all competitors in their
weight class according to and under the KSHSAA and National Federation rules. Coaches should not condone or approve
of any wrestler forfeiting a match in order to avoid wrestling a particular opponent.
In determining the wrestler’s record for seeding purposes, actual match competition, forfeits and defaults
should be included. Byes should not be included. Coaches should be prepared to provide documentation of
each wrestlers record at the regional seeding meetings.

3.E.3 Seeding Criteria
All coaches should provide the requested information to the tournament manager and TrackWrestling for all wrestlers
they are entering into the regional tournament. The following criteria will be used to seed wrestlers for the tournaments.
1. Head to Head Competition (If two wrestlers have evenly split wins during the season, the wrestler who won the last match will be given the seed)
2. Record against common opponents
3. Returning state champion from the previous year
4. Returning state placer from the previous year
5. Returning regional champion or runner-up at the same weight from the previous year.
6. Overall record in the weight class wrestling at regionals

Forfeits: Do not include dual match forfeits in record for seeding.
Records: Contestants with losing records should not be seeded, unless they meet other criteria.

That explains why Corbin Nirschil (Eric Akin look alike), was ranked #2?
