At least give some credibility to qualifying back to 5a/6a by having round robin if 5 or less guys at regionals so you have to win a match to go to state and not flop into it!
If you notice the guys that "flop in" are beat out quickly. Some teams that placed high at Newton or some trnys like that had a good over all team. The people you knew were gonna be in the finals were in the finals. Such as Cornejo, Baldridge etc. Theu guys that are good win all the time! The top 2 or 3 like you say that can go to DI in 5A can Still compete as you put the 5 or 6 in 4A. When you see the kids programs or even this summer wrestling, where were most of the top placers from?
