A couple of questions if I may:
WHY a one day 18 team tournament??? Seems as if we are creating bad situations so we can then b---H and complain about a National rule (no 6th match).
Why 160+ varsity and 150+ JV wrestlers??. Is this two tournaments (a JV and a varsity), or are they filling the varsity brackets with JVs. If filling the brackets,then a harsh description on the status of HS wrestling in Kansas (programs /rosters are only 1/2 to 2/3s full).
Why not a 12 team one day tournament that may fill an 8 man bracket--get it done easily in one day with no need for a 6th match. But, then some dudes would want to wrestle to 12 places, which defeats the purpose of a 12 team tournament. Bigger (more teams) does not necessarily mean a better tournament--especially when brackets are full of opens/byes or JVs!!!
Have to agree with Cokely about having a one day scramble with four 4 man pools. Hopefully 18 teams could fill the pools with fewer JVs needed
