Why, if it is an individual sport, do they keep team scores?
Because they are representing a school. As you have said, it is difficult if not impossible for some to understand........sooooooooooooooo let me ask you this, why do they keep individual win/loss records?
Everyone posting is 100% right. Wrestling is both a team and an individual sport.
While the gist of your point is true, the only persons keeping track of win/loss records other than for seeding purposes each year, is the KWCA, I believe. To my knowledge KSHSAA doesn't recognize individual records.
Sportsfan02, as we can all see maybe we're missing the big piture and the reasoning for this ruling?
Can anyone give a reasonable explaination on the benefits of this rule. From where I stand I see the team aspect of it all, and I get it. But what would it hurt to change this and give kids the option? I don't see the possible backlashes or downfalls simple pro's and con's. How does it hurt the team? We all can see how it could help an individual. I fail to see how it would hurt anything.
On a side note I can't fing the rule and how it accually reads does anyone have it handy?
Jon Trowbridge Ive never had the fear of getting beat thats how most people lose.
