The thing that needs to be kept in mind is that in many states — Missouri and Iowa for example — the norm for regular season tournaments has become dual, rather than bracketed tournaments. Many times in a bracketed tournament, the top seed might only wrestle twice. At a six-team duals tournament everyone wrestles five times.

The funny thing is that the KSHSAA points system does not prohibit or restrict duals tournaments. A one-day tournament is a one-day tournament whether its duals or not. We have a limit in Kansas of 18 dates to get our 30 points. In Iowa they have the same 18-date limit. But the difference is that they have more duals tournaments than bracketed. There's your answer.
