then you would run into more problems chief. lets say your regions #1 and #2 are ranked #2 and #3, but have to face each other in the cosolation semis. then what rearrange the bracket again so some one doesn't get 4th, who should actually be 6th? i understand your point, but the best, most consistant, fair way to do it is the way it is now. some weight classes the top six come from two regions, the next weight class up, maybe from two totally different regions. wrestling teaches all of us LIFE lessons, and my personal favorite is that life isn't always fair. the best way to avoid the above senario is to make wrestling brackets TRUE double eliminations, wrestle until everyone has lost twice exept the champion. it would stretch the days, but we might feel we came up with a better top 6.
