With the numbers this year,(which are down) why not just hold districts only? Bump Drate up a week and be done. LOTS of brackets with 1, 2,3,maybe 4, kids, out of subs. Now to fill distinct brackets your 5/6 placers get to move on. $20 for subs, $20 for districts. Doesn't matter if you wrestle or not you still pay. Make a big bracket per district and let's go. Yeah seeding meeting will be hell, but numbers are down.

Something to ponder.
