As simple as I can put it. Going to 4 seperate tournaments in 4 seperate Districts does not qualify you as an All State wrestler. It is no kind of accomplishment what so ever. It is nothing worthy of an Award, a Title, or a qualification for being on The Series Team.

The Series Champion would just be the wrestler that went to the most tournaments. Lets score by points like Oklahoma; 10 points for 1st, 8 for 2nd, 6 for 3rd, and 4 for 4th. Wrestler A could take 3rd at every tournament earning 24 points. Wrestler B could take 1st at Two of the tournaments and only earn 20 points. Wrestler C could take 1st and 2nd at two of the tournaments and earn 18 points. Wrestler A would be the "Series Champion", even though he did not win one of the Series tournaments. Just because his daddy could afford to send him to every series tournament. That is not an accomplishment! Why should we recognize him as an "All Stater" or "Series Champ".

If it is that important that the kid feels good, just buy them an Award at State. There is a vendor there just for that reason.
