Honestly...I am telling all our 14U and high school kids not to worry about the parade. No reason for them to get up that early. Especially if they might be wrestling til around 9pm the night before. Going to be a long 3 days...Sleep in a little. But, yes there will be some eliminated before the parade.

Quick questions on girls division? Now that you know the numbers for girls divisions, is there any chance of doing brackets bigger than 8 women brackets for some weights? Are the brackets going to be made doing a blind draw or is there going to be an attempt made to try and get the better girls split up? (it would be unfortunate to have all the best girls on one side of the bracket, without the girls having a qualifier tournament I think its only fair that an attempt be made to split the girls accordingly, its not the hard with the girls have track profiles)

I hope next year there will be specific weight classes with a district qualifier for the girls division. I am super pumped that they started the girls division last year and we are moving in the right direction but without predetermined weight classes and no qualifying tournament its somewhat luck of the draw at state for girls.
