This system has major holes in it. They should do some type of seeding. Providence Catholic is for sure one of the best 8 dual teams in the state, and does not even make the tournament.

The system is fine if the point is to determine a State Champion. If you're using this system to determine 2-4, then I agree. Providence is not the best team in the state as they were beaten out by Lockport. You can't really argue that whover wins the title doesn't deserve it.

Maybe a few 'Wild Cards" to the mix? Just a thought, along with seeding.

I agree, it is unfortunate that the Celtic's will not make the Elite 8, but they lost. The eventual champs will beat every team, in one way or another

They lost to them in a tournament not a dual! That is the flaw in the sytem. If Lockport would beat them in a dual then thats great but we often see the better dual team elimenated from dual team competition due to a tournament loss?

Simple solution ... go back to the old days were the 2 top teams in the Regional Tourney wrestled a dual meet the following Tuesday to determine the Regional champ. That way teams like Providence does not get the shaft!!

Last year Plainfield Central beat Minooka in a dual, and then came in second to them in the Regional.....team = season over.

The system may not be perfect but it is what it is.
