Addressing the kids age issue...
This spring kids were divided into Kids and Kids2. Kids could be 9 and under while Kids 2 12 and under. Schoolboys are 13 and 14, Cadets 15 and 16, and Juniors 17 and up.
I am really not fired up about any 6 year olds and under wrestling in the summer. If you have an exceptional wrestler then they can handle wrestling a nine year old.
Michael is correct about setting up parameters to restrict the matchups.
If more empahsis was placed on mat time instead of winning at the younger age it would help out tremendously. The JC Coaches do a great job with prioritizing that goal. I applaud Brett and Mike's efforts to get new kids into wrestling by using summer wrestling to expose them to our sport.
The Dual Team situation will have to work itself out but I have always believed the BEST should be there to wrestle their way onto the team. Those spots should not be gifted.
Sports0...Eric Akin actually brought up a plan such as you mentioned. Points would be assigned to placers in all of the spring tournaments so it would be a qualifying series. A good outside of the box solution.
