Re: wvywa seeds
It's called WVYWA. What they plan on doing for the states this year is going to be very nice. I don't want to spoil it, but most likely you won't see it because it seems that you went the other direction. Which is fine for you. History in the making and the kids will love it!
Re: wvywa seeds
If we would have just showed up at the region, we would have been in. Hell, nobody else showed up at the weight he "supposedly qualified for". How is that "earning" the entry into states that some criticized the Jr States? I have tried to find things positive with this gang, ponyboy, but have not been successful. And believe me, we won't miss a thing with WVYWA!! We will train and wrestle at other venues throughout the country. We don't look for singlets, belts or large trophies... Lol

Re: wvywa seeds
Seeds are a joke. You seeded wrestlers that finished 3rd and 4th in their regional tournament over kids that CLEARLY deserved it more. Plus I thought this tournament was wrestling for a true second is that not happening now either?
Re: wvywa seeds
Only the 6 regional champions were seeded, per WVYWA bylaws. I believe all others were entered into the bracket using the "pill" method, making every effort to have wrestlers from the same region not wrestle each other in the first two rounds. Also, I believe according to the by laws it says that at regionals true second is encouraged, as needed. It does not say that the state tournament will be true second. Most of the problems people have could be easily resolved if they would read more and complain less.

Re: wvywa seeds
Don't be mad campion. It's ok. We understand you can be bitter. Look at the brackets you can see that the brackets are almost twice the size in many of the weight classes. We also do not "hunt" for singlets,trophies, and or belts. Which we have won many. We have too also travelled, not sure why that matters, but to be a youth champion maybe to you it isn't a big deal but to the kids it is. What will be the excuse when asked by your child. Well my parents are upset so I can't wrestle at my state tournament. Instead I went to a county championship, but hey I travel. Have a good one sir/ma'am

Region winners got seeded. Pill form is after that. Just because someone is seeded doesn't give you a spot on that podium. If they deserve it more it will show when they wrestle. To much crap on seeds. Good luck!!

Re: wvywa seeds
I love the concept and while I understood we needed to make a decision of which to participate in, it could have been setup to allow for both. I noticed one wrestler in my kid's bracket from Jr States that's qualified for Youth States. I know the logistics of getting the regions to be held on the same weekend can be a nightmare but a region qualifier was held a week before Jr States, correct? Allowing those kids to do both. If I knew there was a chance at both I would have figured out how to change my plans.

Re: wvywa seeds
Everyone that is supporting the new WVYWA don't take the bait on these forums. It's not worth your time. In one year we almost doubled the entries compared to Parkersburg. Not bad. 90 percent of the top kids will be there you have a great venue compared to Parkersburg you get a singlet if you make the finals and an awesome statue if you win it.

The brackets are currently inflated this doesn't represent what will show up. This is currently almost every kid that wresled in a qualifier....although I hope thry all show up. It's great to get the kids matches.

I am with you. Responding to the same ignorant comments over and over is getting old. The way these people are acting makes me super happy that I chose WVYWA rather than their tournament.
Re: wvywa seeds
Gonna be more chatter than a little league baseball game in here this week.

Which possibly could be true bc people do not show, but they all paid so they will be losing money. I know stuff comes up injury sickness etc. but I will bet it's very minimal. Good luck this weekend if you go.

[quote="WP1992"]Only the 6 regional champions were seeded, per WVYWA bylaws. I believe all others were entered into the bracket using the "pill" method, making every effort to have wrestlers from the same region not wrestle each other in the first two rounds.
if that is the case, then why in the 8U HWT, 4 region 1 kids are going to see each other all before the round 3? they have two region 1 kids battling it out right off the bat and then winner has to see another region 1 kid. only one region one kid is separated from the others?

Re: wvywa seeds
I would assume if you so desired, you could petitions the WVYWA board of directors to consider a change to the bracket. I believe the verbiage says that they will "make an effort" rather than a guarantee. However, I can see your point.

I seperated the region 1 kids to assist as there should not have been three together. But when you have alternates in, some go in to other region spots.

JW is that bracket changing? If so could you post it.

Re: wvywa seeds
Excited about the change, but I thought if regional champions hadn't went head to head common opponents were factored in. Is that not the case? Not complaining I expect mine to go throw the bracket to the top but mine beat 2common opponents and took a 3 seed.

RWWS, I will repost all on Wednesday for a midweek update. I owe what changes were made to that bracket when I get home from the paying job tonight. Will get to you tonight.
Re: wvywa seeds
WVYWA is doing a great job on putting this tournament together there might have been some seeds that were flip-flopped around for the most part they did an awesome job I can't wait to see how it goes this weekend!!!!
