Sounds like a good change and adds some excitement to the team event.
Correct. The 8th team at Team State will be the highest ranked team, per Trackwrestling, from all the 2nd place teams at Team Sectionals. This eliminates the situation of two stud teams being in the same Sectionals with one of those teams missing out on making it to Team State.

The leadership in the WWCA has moved in a slightly different direction over the past two years, utilizing the entire membership more so than just the executive committee. There is a lot of brains, talent, and manpower that can be harnessed from the entire membership.
In this particular instance, sometime ago, the WWCA asked the entire statewide membership who would be interested in joining a committee to look into potential change to the state tournament series. An amazing committee of 14 members arose from that which only included four people from the WWCA executive staff.
Those 14 members are from all 4 corners of the state, all three divisions, both head and assistant coaches, administrators (such as Athletic Directors), and was very diverse age-wise. Although not on the committee, Mel Dow was instrumental in answering our questions along the way.
The plan is that soon, the proposal will be sent out to the entire state who was not able to attend the two different sessions at the state convention. The second part of the plan is that we welcome feedback because this is not a finished product. We may make changes to the proposal and it is even on the table that consensus might tell us that status quo is the best way to go. That would not mean this proposal was in vain.
Ultimately, the goal is to have a product for the WIAA Coaches Advisory Committee to bring this forward on April 9th (this is not the WWCA).
