New regions are out

The team that is already sending 4 is obviously omitted from this criteria.  The other 9 regions will be competing for the right to send 4 instead of 3.  I also believe it must be returning qualifiers, not total qualifiers.  This was in our morning paper.  I am assuming the returning part.

 

Region 2 sends 4.     

All other regions (9) but one send 3.

9 x 3 = 27 + 4 = 31.

 

The other regions are fighting for the 32nd spot.  It could be medalists as Joe said.  I am just saying what our local paper had today.  It would only make sense if they were returning qualifiers.

I looked at it both ways using this year's returners. If they go by returning medalist, it would be Region 6 with the most (11). If they choose to use returning Qualifiers, it would also be Region 6 with 42.

Since I am a transplant from another state, all I can say is that the TSSAA never ceases to amaze me. You see, this all started when they split the public and private schools. Here's my thought. Use the multiplier, combine the schools, and have the schools classified A, AA, and AAA. Each classification have there own state tourney. Eight regions, top 4 go. Rotate the respective state tourneys between the regions. Every eight years, your region will host your classes state tourney. Boy, think of the money...three state tourneys going on in three different spots in the state at the same time!!!!

Looking at Region 6 enrollment numbers it appears the private schools are going to have the opportunity to demonstrate the adage "quality not quantity".  Maybe TSSAA will let the Region 6 private schools form a combined team. 

 

Private

CPA - 280

FRA  - 285

Lipscomb - 513

Nashville Christian - 175

 

Public

Overton        1518

Hillsboro      1152

Hillwood      1399

Franklin      1400

Independence  1244

Brentwood    1361

Centennial    1587

Ravenwood    1146

Aspen,

 

FRA has placed in the top three(teams) in Region 6 the past four years in a row.

Runner-Up last year. Runner-Up in the Region Duals too. The new Region 6 may be more like a section competition wise. We wrestled every team in the list except Independence of course, CPA, and Frankllin. Won them all except the Overton matches. We appreciate the suggestion - but we'll show up, all 14 of us.

I'm with kevinlhs37. This is done in every other sport, why not wrestling? You never have 1 "true" champion in any other sport, except with the split of public and private. Why can't classifications be set up and have a state champion in A, AA, & AAA? I'm sure this has been suggested before, can someone enlighten me, please?

one thing the state needs to consider is doing a regional and sectional. from regionals, 4 would advance to sectionals and then 3 would advance to state. some states only take 2 from sectionals (with a true 2nd). one state that uses this is wisconsin. their state brackets are 16 man and one division is only 8. another bracket size could be 12, in this case region/section champs earn a 1st round bye. the bracket size would depend on the neccessary amount of regions and sections. i think this is just something that should be considered. a state that has another excellent process is illinois. they have 16 regions and 8 sections. 4 advance from the regional and 3 from the sectional advance to state. it is a 24 man bracket and sectional champ receives opening round bye. i recommend this as only more and more tennessee schools are adding wrestling.

NY - you are being true blue to your school!

 

However, I have to admit that I like the idea of regional & sectionals! I know we have districts, so why don't we wrestle off our districts to qualify for regionals. Oh my mistake, we still don't have the regions aligned fairly - so you know the districts are just as jacked up as the regions!

 

Just another day dealing with TSSAA politics - B):P:P

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
