WVhighlander 27 Report post Posted February 11, 2022 Since we decreased the size of state by adding a semi state does anyone know why we didn’t go back to the previous format before they did away with district. that would have changed the region to a district. Top 4 come out. Then the region would be 2 districts combined. Top 4 come out again. This would give a 16 man bracket at state without as many rematches. You would still have some cases where the top kids would be in the same district and region but not as much as now. example. Region 1 and 2 would now be district 1 and 2. Then the region would be made up of district 1 and 2. This is how it was done when state was in Frankfort. Scoring doesn’t start till state. Not as many rematches in the finals.

coachteater 70 Report post Posted February 11, 2022 Because the Khsaa does not want to decrease the state entries from 32 to 16. Semi state is technically "state", so it gives 32 kids opportunity to qualify. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GentleBeard 145 Report post Posted February 11, 2022 Region = District Semi State = Region State = State It’s all postseason with different names essentially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Pollo Loco 20 Report post Posted February 11, 2022 Before they did away with Districts, Region was set up a lot like how Semi-State was set up last year. Two Districts paired together to create a Region. 4 Regions across the state, with top 4 going to State. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think anyone would of had a problem with top 4 instead of 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can see there is a difference. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GentleBeard 145 Report post Posted February 13, 2022 Semi means “half”. Just like “semi finals” and “semi circle”. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ukpridewrestler11 276 Report post Posted February 13, 2022 Unless you’re in Indiana and it means quarter. They have 4 semi states. Top 4 make state for a 16 man bracket. Their post season is jacked up. Sectionals, regionals, semi state, state. No wrestlebacks. Make the semifinals of any of those tournaments you automatically advance to next round.
