I grew up in Kansas and I am a big fan of wrestling, I now live in Indiana and let me tell you, they know how to put a state tournament on. There is no different classes in wrestling, they have 14 state champions, not 56. If you make it to state in Indiana believe me you earn it, only the best will make it. I don't know why Kansas don't come up with a better system. In Indiana you have to place in the top four in sectionals, regionals, and sub-state before you make it to the state finals, and then they hold the state finals in Indy at Canseco fieldhouse under the lights is what they call it. They have 16 kids in each weight bracket, they will each wrestle one match on Friday night, if you lose you're first match you go home, the final eight wrestle for the title on Saturday. one thru eight get medals and brackets. If you get a chance I believe you can see how it is ran on ishaa.com. Kansas state finals don't even come close to what Indiana does. I also believe that if you only had one class that you wouldn't see that many forfiets, especially in the regionals, sub-state rounds. Why not find out who the real state champion is in each weight class.
