FIX D2/D3 regionals! Here is my thought.

I just looked and if Laconia and Kewanee had been combined there would have been a total of 8 first round matches.

Make this fix in all divisions (if you truly believe that we need 3 divisions) where if you loose your first match you are done. Make super sectional on Regional weekend. Followed by duals on Tuesday and Team State on Sectional weekend. And Individual state on the same weekend as always.

That's a great idea.

Eliminate the regional and go to a 2 day super sectional. All divisions. Similar to JHI, Minnesota has it right on this.

yes they do!!!!!!

I think this coming weekend in Rochester they have all 3 classes in their sectional wrestling for the right to get to team state! That is going to be alot of very, very good wrestling for sure!!!!!

so image division 1,2 and 3 in wisconsin in that same area sending there teams to 1 location to wrestle for first place and the right to go to team state. I believe a 2 day blast of wrestling in the team aspect of it.

of note, I think in AA Kasson-Manorville and Similey will be going at it in the finals to just make state! that is if they get through all the other teams first!

I'm glad to hear the still have that sectional tournament in Rochester. When I coached in Minnesota years ago my team was at that sectional. It was a great event!! I felt really good for the below average - good kids as that was a chance for them to compete on a "big stage" with a ton of spectators. Honestly, the first thing I thought of was how perfect a super sectional with all 3 divisions would be at the La Crosse Center. It would be a hit and great for wrestling in Wisconsin.

Yes, but there are three separate tournaments going on there (A, AA, AAA)going on there. It is not combined sections.

MNbadger · February 13, 2018, 09:31:53 AM

I'll suggest it again...........

Three divisions, each have 8 Sections.
Weekend one Team Section Duals, champion goes to state, 8 team bracket.
Weekend two Individual Section top two go to state making a 16 man bracket.

I like this idea, and we really aren't too far away from this now.

About how many teams in a section?

Is every team in the dual tournament regardless of record? Is that a one day and about when is that over on average?

Is the individual tourney Friday night Saturday ? When is that usually over?

In D2 and D3 if you have more than 4 wrestlers in a weight class the lower seeds wrestle to get in a 4 man bracket, the looser of the out bracket does not get a wrestle back.

That's a great idea.

From an earlier post:MN has 242 teams
A 83 teams (9-11 teams per section)
AA 84 teams (9-011 teams per section)
AAA 75 teams (9-10 teams per section)

WI has 333 teams
D1 127 teams divided by 8 = 16 team
D2 103 teams divided by 8 = 13 team
D3 103 teams divided by 8 = 13 team
Or you could put 111 teams in each division giving you 13.8 teams per section. This would work the same as the system in MN.
We wrestle Wednesday/Saturday for Team Sections. Our section actually does 7vs10 and 8vs9 on Wednesday night and the final 8 on Friday afternoon/evening(so a Saturday off for the wrestlers).
Individual Sections are then the following Friday afternoon/evening and Saturday.

Easy-peasy.

You can do the same
