You do have to allow for the fact — at least at Hiawatha — that 14 of the those for forfiets were automatic, since there are only 15 teams in the Regional. Granted, that still averages over three per weight, so I see your point.

The other thing is that 3-2-1A schools almost always have trouble filling weights. That's just one of those things, and is — at least to me — a great argument for going from four to three classes.
