I know that we beat the 5 rule match to death but I have a question.  According to the NHSCA middle school web site in order to qualify you must place in the top three of your weight class.  what happens to the kids that got beat early but wrestled back to the 3/4 place match but were hit by the 5 match rule.

these kids would be considered 4th even though they were beaten only 1 time. would they be able to go to this tournament or would not get this chance due to some bad draw.

sorry for bringing this up again but I just noticed this tonight.

According to the Middle School website the top six in each class are eligible to go.

I hope this helps! :-D

that is correct, top 6 qualify for this year....that may change in the future, but for now...our top 6 are eligible if there is room.
