The 40-40-48 proposal does not increase state tournaments, officials, medals, or expenses. It just changes what teams are going where.
The one issue is a 10-team regional in 5A & 6A. In the case that there are 10 wrestlers and there is a full bracket, then the first-round matches (there would be two per weight class) would need to be in either the 1st & 3rd quadrant or 2nd & 4th quadrant.....to avoid a situation where a wrestler would have a 6th match....am I looking at this right?
