Please have all information input by 9:00 PM Sunday, February 10th. This will give the State Finalist an opportunity to adjust their wrestlers In-state records.
Seeding Criteria:
1. Overall In-state record (playoffs included)
2. Head to Head (If winning percentage is within 10% points)
*** The weight class a wrestler enters at Upper State, they have to count all in-state matches at that weight and above.
A wrestler MAY NOT carry record up, but MUST take record down. ***
The Seeding Meeting will be held at Laurens High School on Monday, February 11th @ 10:00 AM.
*** NOTE: If any wrestler is a scratch before weigh-ins on Friday, then we will adjust the bracket. If a wrestler misses weight, the bracket will also be re-drawn. This is all in an attempt to get the fairest brackets for everyone. ***
