In each weight class that a
wrestler from The King's Academy qualifies, the SCVAL will be allowed one
additional entry. |
| B. |
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, and no
league will receive more than
six (6) entries
per weight class. |
|
3. |
Additional entries are allocated, in order, to
the top-ranked Leagues to fill the bracket to 29 of the 32
places; |
| |
4. |
In each weight-class, if open spots
occur in the 29-person bracket, and after the alternate from the League
which has the opening(s) has been placed, or is not available, then
qualified alternates from other Leagues
may be
placed, in rank order (as
determined by the Seeding Committee), in the open spot(s) to fill the
29-
person bracket. |
| 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 |
| **D. |
|
Proposed: An at-large entry may be permitted into the tournament if a returning CCS Medalist does not qualify for the CCS tournament through the qualifying procedures of the league tournament. The at-large candidate would be the next qualifying wrestler for the league. |
|
| Section 5.
SEEDING PROCEDURES AND AT-LARGE SELECTION PROCEDURES |

individual wrestlers may be seeded by the Wrestling Committee and placed in

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
