silverpie Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 In the new cycle, wrestling will have 10 regions. The existing regions 1-4 are essentially unchanged (although the addition of Knox Catholic and Notre Dame in probably 2 and 4 respectively will make those tougher leagues--I say probably because they aren't shown on the new list). The existing regions 5-7 are now up to five regions (the old District 9 is new Region 5; old Districts 10 and 11 are new Region 6; old Districts 12-14 are new Regions 7-9). And Memphis is renumbered as Region 10. In other words, the Chattanooga teams still have to scramble for eight places, while Nashville is boosted from 12 to 20 (unless they're also eliminating fourth-place qualifiers, which would be even worse). While quantity is an issue, I would venture to say that the (say) 9-10 wrestlers out of Chattanooga would beat the 16-20 wrestlers out of Nashville more often than not. (In other words, we don't have the volume of bad teams bulking up our regions). Even within the Midstate, it's not exactly sensible from a competitive standpoint. Point totals of the new regions in last year's state tournament, along with the number of teams contributing at least ten/twenty of those points: 1: 161½/four/two 2: 262/seven/six (and they'll add Knox Catholic) 3: 394½/six/five 4: 276½/three/three (and likely to add Notre Dame) 5: 100/four/two 6: 364½/nine/seven 7: 114/five/three 8: 106/four/two 9: 321½/nine/six 10: 275/eight/six So in summary, the weak areas get lots of arguably undeserved places, while the powerhouses of Bradley/Hamilton, Williamson/South Davidson, and Montgomery counties still beat each other up first.

Bobvark Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 (edited) Where did you get this info? Does it go from 2005-2010? Nevermind found it on the tssaa.org site at the top, I was looking under classification. http://www.tssaa.org/Classifications/index.cfm Edited November 17, 2004 by Bobvark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachDelgado Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I just looked at them and am wondering what the plan is for the state tourney. The plans made by TSSAA have always had to do with geography. It looks as if some programs will luck out with less competitive regions while others will feel they are getting the shaft. Most noticably is Overton was placed in the region with Franklin, Centennial, Brentwood and others. They have lost their stronghold on the Nashville region. We know coach Gabriel can get them up to championship standard. It will definately take more work next year. The thing I can't figure is that there is still a region with 20 teams listed, Region 2. Hopefully they wil not reduce the number of qualifiers in each region for the state tourney. If that is the case Region 1, 2, 3, 4, and 10 have a lot to complain about. I have said it numerous times but there are always region 4th placers upsetting region champs in the state tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobvark Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 10 regions? 10*4=40 qualifiers? 32 man brackets? Can I get into region 5 or 7? Who would I have to pay? Just kidding... maybe... I'm guessing they did it because of where the new schools keep popping up, leaveing room for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blastdbl Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 32 divided by 10? Who's going to get the shaft? Regions 1,2,3,4, & 10! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachGonyeaSHS Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I really feel sorry for the 20 team region. Trust me, we have done this for the last 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachBlair Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 What I've heard is that each region will send their top 3 to state. Region 2 (the biggest) sends 4 and the region with the most # of state medalists from the previous year sends 4. That makes a 32 man bracket. Let me stress that this is strictly scuttlebutt. I didn't hear it from anyone at TSSAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcpatriot Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 In region 2- Why couldn't Halls, Union, & Gibbs go to Region 1. Or, Pigeon Forge and Sevier Co to Region 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDArtist Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 We had heard that we were getting Pigeon Forge and Sevier Co. might be in Region 1. I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
