Wrestlers taking the easy way

[baxter841]

In my opionion wrestlers should be wrestling the weight they are going to be competing in at states ( in tournaments). In small tris, quads, the moving doesn't matter. I can't stand it when two good wrestlers are going to meet in a tournament and one moves up to avoid the other or get an easier path if the weight above them isn't as strong. Those good matches make both wrestlers better. Maybe one wrestler wins both, maybe they split, doesn't matter. Those matches should determine the outstanding wrestler, not the easy wins.
The wrestler that moves up looks cowardly, even if they win the tournament. If that wrestler is moving up for good, thats completey fair, but not for 1 tournament.
Several good match ups with a lot of ranked wrestlers going forward. I hope they all get wrestled.

Most of it is coaches trying to win the dual.

I'm talking tournaments not duals.

I've sat in on many seeding meetings for tournaments where someone was ducking/hiding from someone. It happens.

I don’t think anyone knows exactly why kids cut/bump. More importantly, calling a high school kid a coward to go be a champion is bold to say the least. Basically, who cares? If a kid is 3 in one weight and 1 in the other...go be 1. Duh.

I don’t care about the eye of the tiger bull crap. Team scores more points. You’re forever state champ, and you bother someone on a forum. Sounds like a win-win-win
