    Seeding Information

    MatScouts Willie Saylor will seed up to 16 in each weight class. All others with criteria below will be separated beyond the seeded wrestlers.

     

    Each wrestler that qualifies will be given a "Separation Criteria" from the list below. The criteria are ranked in order.

    1. Nationally ranked in FloWrestling or MatScouts rankings
    2. State Champion/IHPO Champion

    3. State 2-3/IHPO 2-4

    4. State 4-5

    6. State Qualifier/IHPO Top 6 or 8

    7. Other Credentialed athletes that deserve separation

     

    With these groups we will determine seeds.  Here is an example

    If we have 2 wrestlers with #1 criteria, 4 with #2, 2 with #3, 2 with #4 and 5 with #5 this is how it will work.

     

    The top two seeds will be the two wrestlers with #1 criteria in a random order

    Seeds 3-6 will be the wrestlers with #2 criteria in a random order

    Seeds 7-8 wrestlers with #3 criteria in a random order

    Seeds 9-10 wrestlers with #4 criteria in a random order

    Seeds 11-14 wrestlers with #5 criteria in a random order

    The seeds will be determined randomly by TrackWrestling.
