Ill try to field those questions to the best of my knowledge.

First, 50+ matches in kansas appears to be ludicris because thats how its been done for a long time. Kids and coaches have grown accustomed to this abridged system. But it has been proven that kids can wrestle tons of matches(50+) states like Minnesota and Michigan. I know those Simmons brothers have like 215 and 219 career highschool wins under their belt. That would mean they have to wrestle as least 50 matches each season to attain such gaudy numbers.

People could argue that making weight two more times for venues like dual state and grand state may overwhelm a kid that has already been sucking down hard all season long. heck, why not just give the kids more lbs at events like this. The wrestlers that wrestle in the dual and grand state have most likely proved that can make that weight and giving them lbs would ensure better and healthier wrestling. Id say give them 4-5lbs. I remember my uncle who wrestled 20 yrs ago said that instead of giving 2lbs like they do now for the latter part of the season, they would give him 5lbs! So giving 4-5lbs wouldnt be too bad for the end of the season.

time to eat dinner soon, can't field all questions....
