It is a way for the young men in the state of Kansas to validate skills against each other. It is the only championship series where these guys can sign up and wrestle to the top over a 3 week period. Nothing else in the state is set up in this format. The tournament can be called what ever - but it is the only opportunity for the 4 classifications to square off head to head - in one qualifying series tournament format. The only thing missing is calling it the "Grand State Championships" - the format is real.
