Let's say there are two weight class champions at a tourney. Wrestler "A" is ranked in his class, and has 2 pins and 2 WBD's. Wrestler "B" is also ranked, but pins all opponents. Only one of "B's" matches makes it into the second period.
The question for you all is, which wrestler do you select for the OW award? The kid that drove 75 miles to the meet, or the kid from the host's league?
What if wrestler "A" had a win on his resume over a wrestler that "B" had lost to earlier in the season?
What if there were 2 other state placers not including wrestler "A" in the bracket and the only state placer in "B's" bracket was "B"?
What if those 2 WBD were major decisions for wrestler "A" against the #2 and #4 seed? What if wrestler "B" had to wrestle an unseeded wrestler in the finals?
Does this change your thoughts on the voting process?
