Ok we can not compare including high school because the other districts did not have them listed. That will make the numbers way off. Yes District 2 has 830 INCLUDING HIGH SCHOOL. Took high school away because you can not get a good read with out having ALL the districts listed.

Second, why are we counting the number of cards issued? That is a false lead!!!! How many cards are issued and the kid does one or two tournaments and quits or does not go to another tournament? The judgement should be made by the number of kids in the subs district or district tournament.

Third, why do we have high school in the kids tournament? Do they not have a high school state championship tournament? They should be moved out and 6 and Unders moved in. Let the high school kids move on to freestyle and greco since their is such a big push for that. Of course you will get the old school people who say this is like grand state. No it is not!!!! To truly have a grand state, you need the top four from all the high school state tournaments to compete. That will NEVER HAPPEN PEOPLE!!!!! HIGH SCHOOL DOES NOT BELONG IN KIDS STATE!

Fourth, Not questioning whether one big tournament or having a subs district. That is a choice each district makes. Although i personally would prefer to have all districts the same. No this DOES NOT mean having qualifying tournaments!!! That is the worst idea ever!!!
