I am going to ask several questions here, why in many of the proposed solutions to this, is it group the classes into two groups with the smaller group still having a larger number? The reasoning behind this is that the larger schools have larger teams and thus better competition. This simply is not true. There are 3A teams with as large of squad as most 6A or 5A teams. There are a few exceptions (Manhattan for one), but there are also a very high percentage of 6A teams that can't even field a full team. The logic needs to be changed.
As far as not wanting to dual the State Champs in 6A and 5A, I think it is ridiculous to say one classes State champs are better than another as a whole. Each class has stronger wieghts than any other, but also much weaker weights than anyother. It just depends on the individual and the year. From my years Wrestling in a 3-2-1A regional, compared to caoching at a 6A regional, there is no comparison. When has a 3-2-1A team or 4A team qualfied 14? If it has happened, it has not occured very often. It is not feasible to get 14 through a 16 man bracket. In the 97-98 season two 6A teams did so (Garden City and Manhattan). I have a hard time believing that either team placed 14 at any other tourney(although I am not certain) which means their regional was the weakest tournament they attended that year. This is not the way it should be.

Any thoughts?

Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn- and most do.
