There will be a kid out there that doesn't get invited that is the best in the country but isn't ranked nationaly because his H.S. isn't allowed or doesn't have the funding to travel to the big events. It happened at SR Nationals a few years back. A unranked undefeated State Champ from Maryland beat everyone. In the two weeks after states he won the MD SR Classic beating the small school state champ and the National Prep champ. 2 days later he Tech Fall the #2 Kid in the Nation at the MD vs VA All Star Dual. That next weekend he won SR Nationals by Beating The #1 Ranked kid in the semis and beating the #2 Ranked Kid in the Country again in the finals. The guy who is seeding this tourney does the National rankings and only ranked this Kid #2 even though he put a Nasty Beating on #1 and the former #2. Of course the #1 ranked kid was from his home state of Ohio.

If the Kids show up it will be great but if you want a true national champ. You must let any unranked State or National Prep Champ in.

Dapper Dan, Dream Team, NHSCA, National Duals, Fargo etc. are all event that try to draw the top kids out to compete. In many cases they do not show up. Some of the reason is people don't have the time, money, and energy to be at all those events. Other reason have to do with restriction on participating in post-season event either as undergrads or even grads. Not sure what this event is going to do that will garner as good as if not better results than the ones previously mentioned. Hopefully it works but I think it may just get lost in the crowd of events.

What a great idea! It takes vision to come up with this stuff! This will put an end to all the talk. If you got the guts and your good enough, show your stuff to the world. This will help a lot of kids get on the radar to be recruited. It will also validate end of the year rankings.

I'm guessing this will be USA Wrestling related so maybe most states can be allowed to travel to it and compete. Many have restrictions right now partitularly for underclassman that could result in ineligablity from the next wrestling season. I'm guessing Flo will be letting each kid know exactly what they need to do in order to get it cleared with their states governing athletic body.

Obviously the more kids get invited or choose to attend per state will make there state the top one. Same with the individual schools. Not sure that the fair way to show which state or school is the best, but not many ways to really figure it out if the fields number per state are not even.
