How to qualify for South Dakota Girls state tournament?

Hello, I'm looking for criteria on how to qualify for girls state wrestling tournament. Is there a link to a written section we could review? I've been told track wrestling will pick based on record, but I was hoping someone could clarify how situations are wieghted. A few questions here,

1) what's the minimum amount of matches needed?

2) Is winning percentage or who you wrestle weighted more? (Hypothetical... You Wrestle an unranked girl 5 times and win with a 5-0 record vs another girl who wrestles a ranked guy 5 times and finish with 2-3 record, who will track choose?)

Thanks in advance!

http://That’s a great question. I would email all these reps and ask the question.

I could be wrong, but I think they are using the same criteria as the boys tournament, but picking the top 16 wrestlers.  So the criteria, as I understand it, should be:

Head to Head
Common Opponent
Returning State Place Winner
If a tie on state place, nearest weight will be given criteria
Winning Percentage
Coin Flip

 

This is what I was able to gain from the handbook.  I do think there is a big gap between returning state placer and winning percentage.  I would like to see something like a significant win category, but I don't know how that would really work.  Basically I think there should be something else between placer and winning percentage, but I don't know what it should be.
