I've been reading this thread for a few days and so I decided to figure out if any particular classification had it easier in qualifying for state compared to another. It seems that the total number of students in each classification should be considered. I did this very quickly by obtaining the enrollment numbers and numbers of schools in each class, working out a rough estimate of the average school size in each class, and computing the total number of students each classification draws from. Here are the results: 6a 40,512 students, 5a 22,496 students, 4a 21,655 and 321a 24,044. However, all 32 schools in 6a and 5a have wrestling teams and 61 of 62 4a teams have wrestling but only 73 out of 240 321a teams have wrestling making their total number of potential wrestlers much fewer. Even if all 73 321a schools were the average size of 3a schools, that would provide a potential pool of 12,848 wrestlers or half the size of 4a and 5a and less than 1/3 the size of 6a. Even if all 73 321a schools were the size of the largest 3a school it would only add up to 15,987 wrestlers. So I think the argument that a 6a state championship is somehow cheap compared to a 4a or 321a championship because they take half the 32 wrestlers from the 6a schools and only a quarter from those other 2 classes is not valid.
