why do they call the champ of theis tourn. a national champion, when about 6-7 states are represented?

are all invited? not to take anything away from the kids, but some of those brackets were small and i know that the best wrestling is back east and in the ohio valley.

i guess what i'm saying is when i hear that someone is national champion during the year, is that a brute national champion, or a true national champion (senior nationals for example)?
