State Dual Team "Upsets"

So now that the state dual tournament is over its obvious that there needs to be a change in the way the "power points" are tallied. This was very evident in the B duals where #3 Kingsbury County got beat out to a no-placement. It gives validation to the people who argued pre-tournament that MCM or Custer should have been there instead, and schools like Bon Homme/Scotland or Philip should have probably been higher.

The A's didn't have as much controversy (about this) but obviously Sturgis was above their 7 seed somewhere.

I'd love to get some points of view on how to make the ranking system better so teams don't feel like they got the shaft on not being included. I'm still fuzzy on the current system but it needs work

I think it has to do with the schedule of the B teams.  It isn't their fault, but they logistically cant wrestle all the teams in the state so they have multiple undefeated teams.  In the A's the top 5 - 6 schools all wrestle each other, so the seeding is pretty cut and dry.  This year Sturgis was down because they has a couple of forfeits to do sickness.  This gave them some undeserved losses and lowered their seed.  It was nice to see them step up and prove that they should have been higher than 7.
