I have a concern about the petition. It seems that guys that are petitioning, are automatically placed ahead of the state runner-up, 3rd place finisher, etc. Shouldn't they have to challenge their way up the ladder?
All challengers are equal. The requirements to challenge are:
1. Petition prior to the state tournament with an approved reason.
2. Placing in the top three at state allows you to petition to challenge the state champion.
I am encouraging all runners-up and third place finishers to turn in their petitions by midnight tonight!
