Colorado STATE TOURNAMENT BRACKET SEEDING
In all classes, the four regional champions will be seeded into the bracket on the four top locations using a criteria based on points for previous state placing.
Champ 6 pts. Example: A regional champion was a
2nd 5 pts. 4th place finisher as a sophomore, a
3rd 4 pts. 2nd place finisher as a junior. He
4th 3 pts. would have 8 points toward seeding
5th 2 pts. for this tournament.
6th 1 pt.
The location of these four wrestlers would set the bracket location for all other competitors.

Kansas proposed State Tournament Seeding Criteria of four regional bracket champions
1. Returning state champion at same weight
2. Returning state champion
3. Previous state placer
4. Regional championship over a state placer
5. Outstanding record

Recommend the Colorado criteria. Has only one criterion---previous state tournament results. Kansas proposed criteria similiar but has criteria other than state top 6 placings, plus I like the simple point system. Regional championship over a state placer and outstanding record are superflurous----makes Kansas proposed criteria too subjective and open to dispute and arguements. KISS!!!

Still do not see the need. If top two meet in a semi--so what? Best man still wins---and should win the championship. Crowd does not come to see just one match. Too much diddling around.
