Vince,
I ended up liking the MT system a lot also. I just think it does a lot to promote the sport and increase participation. No they do not use it for any of the other tournaments before state. At a lot of the tournaments they will let you bring a JV (second) team but the second team is counted as another team for team points. Another thing they do, if they don't have enough teams, is they will invite teams to bring their best #2 wrestlers at certain weights. They will then form that into a separate team.
Sean,
Now you are giving me a real complex! I was way under the normal growth chart for height and weight. The problem is the only place I seem to be catching up is on the weight side. Missed the train for the catching up on the height! HA!
You are absolutely right, we have to keep the smaller weights.
