Entry Procedure: |
|
1. |
The
number of entries per League, per weight-class, is determined by the respective
percentage of CCS Tournament medalists over the past two [2] years; |
|
2. |
No
League will qualify less than two [2] entries per weight-class; |
|
3. |
Any additional entries are allocated, in order, to
the top-ranked Leagues to fill the bracket to 29 of the 32 places. |
|

Proposed
3. Any additional entries are allocated, in order, to
the top-ranked Leagues to fill the bracket to 29 of the 32 places. |
| C. |
When
two [2] or more basic Leagues join together to form two [2] or more
supplemental Leagues, the following shall apply: |
|
1. |
When two [2] or more supplemental Leagues are
formed by the joining of two [2] or more basic Leagues, and each of the two [2] or more basic Leagues had Automatic Qualifiers
to the CCS Tournament, the new supplemental Leagues shall retain the total of their
previous Automatic
Qualifiers (e.g., League A and B each have three [3] Automatic
Qualifiers. When the new supplemental Leagues are formed, combining A and B, they will have a total of
six [6] Automatic Qualifiers). |
|
2. |
The League Board of Managers having
governance authority over the supplemental Leagues shall
determine in its bylaws how those Automatic Qualifiers will be allocated from
the supplemental
Leagues. In the absence of a basic League tournament to determine Section
qualifiers, it MUST
allocate an automatic berth to each of the supplemental League Champions. |
|
|
|
| Section 5.
SEEDING PROCEDURES |
| A. |
Up to six [6]
individual wrestlers may be seeded by the Wrestling Committee and placed in
brackets that correspond to their
seeds. An alternate may also be designated for purposes of the following: |
|
1. |
If any
of the top-six[6] seeds do not qualify (i.e., does not make weight, etc.) for
the Tournament during the time following the seeding meeting but prior to the start of
competition, then the seeding positions will be filled by moving seeded wrestlers up (e.g., if #4
does not make weight --#5 goes to #4; #6 goes to #5), and the alternate will fill the last seeded
position. |
|
2. |
If all
seeded wrestlers qualify for the Tournament, the alternate will remain in the
general pool of
qualifying wrestlers. |
| B. |
The balance of the bracket will
be filled by plan, while also achieving the following, whenever possible: |
|
1. |
Keep
League Champions from meeting in the 1st Round; and |
|
2. |
Separate
the 1st- and 2nd-Place entries from each League, by placing in opposite
half-brackets. |
| C. |
A League may have only one
[1] wrestler on the board at any one time. |
| D. |
The
following required criteria will be used for seeding, in rank order: |
|
| 1. Head-to-head; |
4. Common opponents;
|
| 2. Returning CIF State Meet medalist
from the previous year; |
5. Tournament placing;
|
| 3. Returning CCS Meet medalist from
the previous year; |
6. Over-all record.
|

Intent:

Rule" is intended for use for qualifying from the League Meet into the
Section Meet. It cannot be implemented for qualifying from the
Section Meet to the State CIF Meet. |
| A. |
APPEAL COMMITTEE |
|
An Appeal Committee
shall be established, chaired by the League Meet Director, and consisting of
the officially designated League Head Varsity Coaches. If
the League Meet Director is a Head Varsity Coach, he/she may designate his/her
Assistant Coach as his/her Representative on the Appeal Committee. No
other designates may be used. No proxy votes for absent Coaches shall be
allowed. |
| B. |

The wrestle-off shall be held not later than the Friday following the
League Finals, at the qualifier's site, or at a site mutually agreed
upon. The League Commissioner shall decide on the specific date and time,
if not mutually agreed upon by both coaches. Both wrestlers must make
weight, with no weight allowance given. Failure to appear, or make
weight, for the wrestle-off shall constitute a forfeit. The petitioner
must step on the scale first, and make weight before the qualifier is required
to do so. |
| F. |
OFFICIALS |
|
A qualified
official, assigned by the League Commissioner from the appropriate accredited
Officials Association, shall be used for all wrestle-offs. The
petitioner's school will be responsible for paying the official's match fee. |
| G. |
PLACEMENT IN SECTION MEET |
|
For Section Meet
seeding purposes, the winner of the wrestle-off shall be inserted in the
position of the last qualifier from the League Meet. However, a wrestler
who has qualified through the "hardship" process may, by a vote of
the CCS Wrestling Committee, be seeded. |
| H. |
MULTIPLE PETITIONERS |
|
If two [2] or more
wrestlers in the same weight-class are granted favorable consideration by the
Committee, they shall participate in a wrestle-off of their own prior to
the wrestle-off with the qualifier. The League Commissioner shall determine
the date, time, site, and format (if it involves more than two [2] wrestlers)
of such wrestle-off. All other procedures of Sections E., F., & G.
above shall apply |
