Info seeking

Posted by Graduate 1975 on 12/31/2025, 4:43 pm

I keep hearing about some sort of dual meet state champion tournament. Nobody has said a word about it here. I heard rumors about it being an invite only. I have no other rumors.

Anybody have any real information.

Teams that finished top 8 in last years Mat Classic were auto invited. Most accepted, some declined.
Each division has a committee that has been looking at teams throughout the year. Also teams apply to be considered for the at large spots. Each division are looking to have a dual tourney of 16-20 teams.

Figures WIAA establishes a committee. Many states already have team tournaments for state titles. Pick a model and run with it. I suppose the "gotta start somewhere plan" is the only option at the moment. As they used to say, stay tuned sports fans.

The dual state tournament is not run by the WIAA. It's possible in the future it will be, but for now it's a regular season tournament and counts as "an outing" against a team's 16 outings.
The WWN Podcast with Justin K with the WIAA goes into it a bit. Episode 10.
