TomG,

First of all, let me say that I appreciate the time and effort that Mr. LaMar puts into this endeavor. Ranking the top four in each regional is, in my opinion, a waste of Mr. LaMar's valuable time. In three weeks we will know without a doubt who are the top four in each weight in each regional --however, without the rankings the consensus top ten will not be known. Being recognized in some ammner will help ease the hurt of those unfortunate wrestlers who will be left at home because the top five or six are in the same regional.

Since Mr. LaMar is doing it and this is the way he wants to do it, fine--the rankings just won't mean much to many of us "out here."
