Joe - Will there be any seeding this year on the DI side or names pulled out of a hat?

There will be seeding for this years D1 state duals. Criteria includes #1 - must be a region champion and #2 must have placed in the state duals in the previous year.

 

There will also be an attempt made to seperate regional opponents to opposite sides of the brackets. The only reason they would not be is if seeding does not permit.

I just read on tennesseewrestling.com that Cleveland forfitted out to Bradley in the Region 4 finals. What's up with that?

[CoachBlair]

Last year the Board of Control approved a seeding criteria proposed by the TACA wrestling council similar to the one currently used for the individual tournament. If a team placed in the top 4 in the previous year's tournament and wins its region, it will be seeded based on it's placement from last year. So, right now Bradley will be seeded #1. Cleveland will not be seeded, but should be placed in the opposite bracket from Bradley because they are from the same region. The only other team that could earn a seed for this year's tournament would be Clarksville. If they win their region, they will be the #2 seed because they finished 4th in last year's tournament to Soddy, who did not qualify this year. After that, it's pretty much a draw. Teams from the same region will be placed in opposite brackets. Region champions should be matched with region runners-up in the first round.

Clarksville did win the Region 7 Dual Championship last night against Hendersonville. The Region 7 thread has a little more info.

Maybe overton can pull the upset on franklin. So they can take on ravenwood in the region 6 finals

Alignment looks sum what strange when looking at D2. No schools east of Chatt? So really no rep from EAST TN at all? Seems to me they need to have a four coners apporach. Just a hought.

Knox Webb represented the East. Only 6 teams from the East/Middle regions qualify plus 2 from the West.

Several Webb wrestlers were out with the flu at the qualifying tournament on the 23rd.

I agree, however, it is against TSSAA rules to have a match or tournament during the State duals. I wanted to change the J.V. Championships to that date until Coach Peck pointed out the rule to me.
