It used to be that each state got 3 per weight class (Regional qualifiers didn't affect that number). Juniors had 15 weights so 45 team members plus any regional qualifiers (51 in Cadets). If only 40 signed up of the 45 then 5 petitioners could get to go. If only two went at one weight then 4 could go at another. I don't really know of that many kids that really want to go, and have the money to do it, that got turned down. Now, my info is from 20 years ago but I don't think it has changed much.
Bottom line, if you want to go, and didn't qualify, contact your age group director to petition ASAP after the state meet to see what your options are.
