The list seems to be accurate as of right now.

Here's a link of associations that offer the sport. https://wrestlelikeagirl.org/hsseau

I checked out the pre-region rankings from this past season and noticed that 8 eventual state champs were #1, 13 were in the top 3, while the lowest ranked champ was #7. How about having an invite-only event with the top 16 wrestlers per weight class. This should get all the state champs involved and most anyone else that has aspirations of participating collegiately.

There's a school called Ignite. Got started after I acquired some property about 5 minutes down the road. I recommend this venue. https://www.nkytribune.com/2017/03/toyotas-gift-what-is-the-ignite-institute-at-roebling-innovation-center-the-answers-to-your-questions/

4 regions. Based on the numbers from track, that'd average out to around 20 wrestlers to a weight class. For this year anyway. Top 4 would get a 16 wrestler bracket for state.

Several results I excluded because they were pins or tech falls with a time of 0:00. It's all on track.

Weight Class - Average Time, Number of Matches Region Semi-Finals and either State Round of 32 or 1st Round Quarter-Finals 145 - 4:09, 118 132 - 3:54, 113 138 - 3:53, 118 195 - 3:47, 112 126 - 3:41, 116 113 - 3:32, 108 285 - 3:30, 122 106 - 3:30, 120 152 - 3:27, 112 220 - 3:22, 116 182 - 3:15, 116 170 - 3:14, 114 160 - 3:13, 113 120 - 3:07, 111 Total - 3:32, 1609 Region Finals and either State Round of 16 or 1st Round Semi-Finals 132 - 5:08, 62 120 - 4:56, 58 138 - 4:53, 60 126 - 4:49, 60 113 - 4:48, 55 145 - 4:46, 57 170 - 4:28, 59 220 - 4:27, 59 106 - 4:25, 58 182 - 4:21, 62 160 - 4:19, 57 285 - 4:16, 59 195 - 4:09, 61 152 - 4:07, 54 Total - 4:34, 821

Here are some numbers from the State Tournament 2018-2021.

This has some Northern Kentucky teams listed.

Cricket?

I say stay with 14 weight classes. A dual with 14 really competitive matches isn't that long of an evening. Comparing to some other sports. More likely, there are going to be forfeits or short matches with a dual being over in less than an hour. A way to remedy forfeits without reducing weight classes is setting a limit to how many individual matches count towards team scoring. Example: 14 weight classes but only 12 could go towards team scoring. Coaches can get together before a meet and decide which 12 of those would be. The other 2 individual matches can be contested for record keeping but would be excluded from team scoring. Up to 2 forfeits would be automatically excluded. This would limit the effect that forfeits can have without having to reduce weight classes.
