There is none at least in 3A. You have 6 districts yet District champions were not wrestling the last placed individuals from other districts. You had districts sending 6 kids and yet 1st place district champion wrestled the 4th place wrestler from the same district the very first round of state tournament. In a couple places you had district runner ups wrestling district champions 2nd round of the tournament
How District 1 gets 10 kids in yet placers 7-10 in that district don't wrestle a district champion from another district?
State should run only by how you place during the tournament. If your a district or Regional champ and you are a state placer you get seeded number off that if you are the Champion otherwise it falls into placing at that tournament. Top 4 of a district should not run into each other until Quarter finals/Semi-Finals due to 6 districts

District winners get the top seeds 1-6. Then it Head to head wins and losses against all other opponents in their weight class. If they didn’t wrestle an opponent in their weight class then it goes by overall record.

It is a joke. Unfair to kids, and a slap in the face to true seeding.
