How do they typically seed? I seen what was listed on the state page but that is not how it is seeded at district. I always wondered why the 1st or 2nd seed gets the bye. Is there a science to that. I watched a tourney where the bracket was really tough and the top seed received the bye. The top seed was fresh and ready to rumble while the other boy was a bit worn from a tough, tough first match. How do coaches and parents know how many kids are in a bracket for subs-to make their kid change brackets or drop weight, etc. The first year my son wrestled I thought maybe someone just lost weight from exercise and working so hard. The second year I caught on to what they were doing. It's crazy. Changing rankings, weight changes, byes and all the above. I want my kid to do well and win but not at his expense for health or emotional welfare. If he wins I am happy and if he loses we are sad and work a little more. What are we teaching our kids when we learn to alter the system? Just something for people to respond to.. food for thought.
