I do have to agree with ranking the wrestlers accurately. If everyone would use the wrestlers last 12 months accomplishments only this would eliminate confusion.
However lets keep this real and note that at almost ALL of the club ran tournaments there really is NO #1 seed. When was the last time you attended a seeding meeting for a regular season tournament?
In Track Wrestling it is basically a random draw unless you enter seeding for each kid. That is the last thing clubs holding a tournament want to do is add more man hours to what is already an exhausting week of preparation.
