I am able to pull them up now
The final brackets will be released tomorrow at 8 AM. We are still receiving corrections and attempting to separate 1st round regional match-ups.

Now that the brackets are up and released what happens if there are changes? Are there any changes allowed? If a kid doesn't show up is it a forfeit?
I was wondering what formula is being used? My son was region champ and has to wrestle the other region champ the first match, while the kid he pinned at region gets a bye first round. Explanation ??
I think that it is randomly done, but not positive on that. I think they just try to make sure that the kids from the same region don't wrestle in the first round if possible.

go to trackwrestling.com and search for the event
There's no way the youth state tournament is randomly drawn. Just look at my sons middle school bracket then look at his youth bracket lol.
I know it . My son who was region champ has to wrestle the champ from union first round just to get to the next round ,if he wins, to wrestle the kid he has pinned a couple times who has a bye the first round. What was the point of regionals? I smell favoritism!
It is random draw for younger kids. The older ones like Blue people know who they are and try to separate them some but aren't seeded. If they were trying to show favoritism they didn't do very well since there kid is on the same side of the bracket as your kid. True 2nd might not be a bad option. I see it used as World of Wrestling events and Tennessee state uses it.
Not sure if the favoritism thing was thrown toward me or not. I didn't say favoritism was shown or anything was wrong with the way the tournament was seeded but i do like the true 2nd place idea. Blue will wrestle anyone in front of him it doesn't matter. Win or lose Blue shows up to wrestle whoever is across from him.
Not towards you at all lol you right tho , no dodging and wrestle who ever is in front of you. He will live with it . Just weird I have wrestled all over the country since I could walk and since moving here , there are no weight classes and everyone at region qualifies for state and no criteria on bracket placements . Guess I gotta get used to it

For middle school wrestling, you have district and regional qualifiers to get to the state tournament, and there is a seeding process for the state bracket. Younger kids (4th-8th grades I think are eligible for MS) that want that level of competition have that avenue to wrestle. Youth is more about getting younger and less experienced kids interested and excited about wrestling in Kentucky. Hence, Kentucky youth state tournament doesn't have a qualifier or seeding for the bracket. We just changed last year from an 8 man to a 16 man bracket which was a great move to make it a little tougher and more interesting, but at the end of the day youth is about exposure to the sport.
I agree to an extent. Novice and local tournaments are usually for youth exposure, Not Usually the complaining type just was a little frustrated when brackets posted and didn't know it was random. Wrestling culture shock I guess. All good now , looking forward to this weekend!! Good luck to everyone at states!

What weight is your son wrestling?
35-38 6U . I Just didn't know what the formula for the bracket placements were. It's cool tho ,now that I know how it was done. All about having fun and giving 100% and development as his age anyway.

If you place in the Top 4, you can't

#1from one reg against #4 from two regional, #2 from one region against #3 from region 2. See the 10% rule not only promotes injury and dropping out, it confuses the confused people who think it's a good thing!! #setweights

Please enlighten us confused people as to how the 10% rule "promotes injury". #samestoryeveryyear
Wrestler "A" weighs 49lbs, 10% rule allows him to wrestle opponents up to 4.9 lbs heavier. 53.9. Wrestling in most parts of the country you'll find weight classes for youth 46,49,52,55 etc. so somewhere else there is TWO weight classes between them resulting in less chance of injury. 10% is a lot of weight, imagine if High School used it, 119 vs 131. In youth wrestling there are many examples of kids being at the top of the weight class ALL year even regionals, then end up being the lightest at States, very unsafe. Explain how it's safer. How is Ky right on this and the whole world wrong?
Evidently you agree it encourages dropping out. I guess growing the sport in Ky. isn't a goal either.

What you provided is a hypothetical, but is not the reality of our state tournament in almost every weight class. The 10% rule is a maximum allowed, but the reality is most weight classes are spread between 3%-5%, which is a much closer spread percentage wise compared to USA Wrestling youth weights. Therefore, since it can be proven that our state brackets distribute the wrestlers closer in weight compared to set weights, you can argue that it is safer using 10% rule in this instance.
The "whole world" does not use set weight classes. Trackwrestling would not offer the option to use 10% rule on their site just for Kentucky. There are other large tournaments that use it that are much more competitive than our state tournament.

I've been around youth wrestling in Kentucky since you were probably pooping green. In fact, I was wrestling when there was NO youth wrestling. Our youth wrestling was going to high school to get you butt kicked by high school kids. Since then, many people have helped build it to what it is now which is something I could only dream of 20 years ago. Our first youth state tournament was held (I believe) in CC's gym and was smaller than most regional tournaments now. This is our largest state tournament ever with 1300 kids signed up from all over the state. Growth has been the biggest goal and whatever we are doing is working and that can be proven, regardless of your opinion.
Another potential problem with fixed weight class at youth is that it could encourage these young kids to cut weight to drop a weight class. You might even see parents pushing this on their kids to make them more competitive. I think there is less pressure on the kid if there isn't a target weight that they might try to cut to, and instead they just wrestle their natural weight.
I see the whole "mic dropped" thing has disappeared. Dang! Had some great comebacks!! Oh well....Kids with kids!! Lol!!! Good luck to all this weekend.
raidercoach- you gave me a lesson in grammar(not), I gave you a lesson in wrestling! Your defense of 10% rule is elementary at best. ANY "SYSTEM" THAT PITS TWO REGIONAL CHAMPS AGAINST EACH OTHER IN THE FIRST ROUND OF STATE IS JUNK AND VERY UNUSUAL! ......I might have a mic as in microphone in my ass, better than you with your head in yours!! You sound like a village elder in IRAQ with you shit talk!!! BAM!BAM!BAM!!MIC DROP!! POW!!
Louisville, POTENTIALLY cutting weight is not your job. That's up to the PARENT!! YOUR point is invalid. JUNK TALK! Bam mic drop
Nike man, my kids are grown. Probably older than you. I've been around the sport since the late 70's. Your useless in this topic!! Bam bam bam, mic drop!!!
You'all need to go to basketball, even though your dribbling is coming out your mouths!!!! .........THE POP-TARTS ARE TOASTED!! Boo yah!!!
raider coach- Your one to talk about grammar, you make no sense. "Our youth wrestling was going to high school to get you butt kicked by high school wrestlers." I'm waiting for explanation how two regional champs meet in the first round with a "push of a button." hahahahaha good joke! It would be fine to me if they could wrestleback for true second. Shady Grady.!
Regions are just used so they can have a number of wrestlers that will be at state one.The first year they had regions there was a total of around 350 for the entire state that wrestled in regions then all of a sudden 1000 kids showed up at state some never wrestled before and wearing blue jeans. It was the unorganized slow tournament ever. This group of coaches has brought this to an incredible growth. They don't deserve you're pot stirring bull craps. Good Luck to All
