ok when it comes to depth in the rooms 5a and 6 a are aheaed of the competition...but the regionals are a joke for 5a and 6acase in point I went to the Emporia regional in 2002 to watch and in the heavyweight bracket ther were 5 guys...the pathetic thing is it was bracketed as a normal bracket the #1 seed had a bye and then a match with the winner of the 4 vs 5 seed in the 2nd with 2 & 3 receiving byes into the semis...#1 could have not even won a match and still qualified for state!!! What is just as bad is "some" coaches ( now this is in all classes before I totally get jumped by the coaches from aroudn the state)have guys they could put in to fill the void but choose not to because they don't think it would be worth to a high profile tournament...I can understand giving a guy competiton that they have an opportunity to be succesful against such as taking nobody to the normal varsity tournament at a certain weight and sending them to a jv tournament instead to improve on thier skill for example but come regionals fill your roster if you got em! As for the bracketing situation for the regionals if a small enough # of competitors I personally think a round robin should be done so you'd have to earn your way to state at the regional.I also think that there should be like D1 college a certain amount of wildcards total per regional like 5 total that way anyweight and number of competitiors can make it if they have a weight stacked at a regional and a guy takes 5th he could end up with a wild card to state based off of regular season accolades or something along those lines.
