As a parent of wrestlers this is very tough to understand how or why we would have set this up the way we did. I do however understand that this is the first year for Sanctioned HS Girls Wrestling and the kinks will get figured out as we grow. Although we recently went to a great tournament that we fell into this same problem of 12 wrestlers in a 16 man bracket and several wrestlers fought very hard on the back side only to be told they had to forfeit their last match due to limitation of matches in one day. This was explained to girls who were first year wrestlers and have grown these past few months to make it to that placing and not yet understanding all the rules of wrestling. To see the look of hurt, disappointment on their faces was very sad and very frustrating even for myself and it wasn't even my wrestlers. This was only a regular tournament. I can not imagine the feelings they will have in a STATE tournament if this does happen. Could we not have just gone with the same rules as the boys and only take the top four when all this was decided? We knew numbers in the beginning? Also as Girls wrestling grows isn't that what we would have to do if we do end up with four regional tournaments instead of just two? I do hope for the best for everyone and know that this has to be very hard on the ones in charge. Good luck to all as this is still a very exciting time for HS Girls wrestling.
