For those who think that wrestling at sub-districts and districts with no intention of going to state is just plain wrong or insane, you need to consider what the purpose of youth wrestling is. Is it not to gain experience for the next level? Is wrestling two tournaments instead of staying home better than sitting around the house doing nothing? If knowing ahead of time that a young man would not be wrestling at state and informing the 5th placer he could advance allowing him to wrestle is a bad thing, please explain it to me. It seems like a win-win situation to me with everyone getting to wrestle more and in the long run, hopefully, becoming better wrestlers.
