Round 1 winners per region I: 42 II: 22 III: 20 IV: 28 Not debating which regional is tougher or more worthy, but......your math is off. Where did the other 12 winners come from? Maybe my math is wrong, but I'm getting 30 from Reg IV. I also get 41 from Reg I. But....I freely admit I suck at math. ...

You said "where was the outrage when it was region 4" Im just saying it was NEVER region 4. Thanks 2006 region 4 places 33 at states…meaning the other 51 spots was between three regions…average 17 per region. Not quite rankings…not double. But…close. You’re welcome. “Beware of the ringwor...

This isn't a popular statement, as I made it before and got chastised. Any state that has a sectional/regional format to determine who goes to states...whether it's in wrestling, basketball, track, baseball, softball, soccer, whatever.....the focus is not to get the best 16 people to Huntington. It...

Who do you contact for information regarding entering a team?

Yes, and they only placed 18 wrestlers total at the state tournament while region 1 placed 31 wrestlers. This whole post is about the difficulties qualifying for states and depth of region 1 compared to the other 3 regions.

What defines the top 16? Record? Nope. It has already been shown in this thread that wrestlers with a losing record can place over wrestlers with substantially better records. Rankings? Nope. I guarantee you that this year ranked wrestlers will not be on the podium and unranked wrestlers will. Happ...

Yet this entire thread is based on complaints that R1 wrestlers are being left home while other wrestlers get to go. Because Region 1 is the toughest region. So when Region 1 alternates are beating state qualifiers in other regions we do not have the top 16 wrestlers in a weight competing at the st...

Since everyone wants to use individual rankings as an indicator of why the regions need redrawn, here is the latest AA/A team rankings from Feb 10, 2023. AA 1. Fairmont Senior (R1) 2. Point Pleasant (R4) 3. Oak Glen (R1) 4. Independence (R3) 5. Braxton County (R2) 6. Berkeley Springs (R1) 7. Herber...

And that is the problem. The idea of some people is that "fair" means making sure more R1 wrestlers qualify. Nothing else. Instead of being focused on building the sport bigger and better in the state they are focused on preferential treatment. I'd say the real problem isn't making sure m...

Last year Herbert Hoover (Region 3) and Braxton County (Region 2) finished ahead of both Oak Glen (Region 1) and Berkley Springs (Region 1) in the State Tournament. So what's your point? It goes in cycles. What's your solution to "evening out" the regions? There's no doubt that Region 1 i...

Last years State placers in AA/A:

Region 1: 31
Region 2: 17
Region 3: 18
Region 4: 18

For reference, these garbage regions produced 11 of the 14 champions last year, with region III and region I each having 3 and region IV having 8. What bums. I'm surprised they are even allowed to show their faces with those cake walks :lol: :lol: :lol: "Beware of the ringworm!" -- Spence...

AA/A ranked wrestlers per region Region 1: 49 Region 2: 31 Region 3: 22 Region 4: 33 The regions in AA/A are not balanced at all. I know the regions are divided due to geographical location within the state, but Region 1 is brutal. A lot of good wrestlers will not qualify for the state tournament. ...

First of all, the state pairings look great except I must question AA/A 120. WVMat has had Wood of Point Pleasant as #1 all season. WVMat has had Hess of North Marion #2 in 5 out of the 6 polls and for the past 5 weeks straight. Both were regional champions. Both are undefeated in WV AA/A. Currentl...

Oak Glen and Indian Creek tied and were actually named co-champions in AAAA.

Region 1: 40 Ranked Wrestlers
Region 2: 21 Ranked Wrestlers
Region 3: 17 Ranked Wrestlers
Region 4: 34 Ranked Wrestlers

Based on the new Individual Rankings, Region 1 has more total ranked wrestlers than Region 2 and 3 combined.
