What has more value a 3-2 ot win against a good kid but not in the all class ranking or 2 convincing wins against the same wrestler ranked in all class, and another convincing shutout over an all class ranked wrestler and previous runner up in 6A and currently ranked 1st in 6A. What is the criteria to move from one weight 10th all class and jump to 2nd all class without meeting any of the guys this year in that group.

Many factors are considered (Not always in this order):

1. State bracket performance.
2. Performance at national folkstyle tournaments.
3. National FS/GR success.
4. Information from Coaches and Parents.
5. Competition that the wrestler has faced.
