I am trying to stay away from someone having to produce a valid lunch ticket in order to wrestle. It should be an 18U division period just for semantics purposes alone. Personally I would prefer that it be a 17U division, period. I feel like the high schoolers and in particular the seniors have already had their state tournament. To refer to this as anything resembling a Grand State would be fraud regardless, because many of your state champions will be competing in other spring sports for their schools. With that thinking I believe the seniors that are going to most likely use this new division will be the also rans. Nothing wrong with that but I just feel the seniors or those over the age of 17 have had their shot and it's time to give the underclassmen a chance. Has anyone put pencil to paper and figured out the minimum number of full size mats this will add to the tournament?
