Let’s take a look at the top 8 seeds at every weight class for the 2021 Journeymen NYS Wrestling Championships. The tournament is taking place on April 2nd and 3rd in Manheim, PA. These seeds can change if any seeded wrestlers withdraw or fail to make weight for the tournament.
Seeding this tournament was extremely difficult. Normally, a state tournament is seeded using results from the wrestler’s current season. Unless a wrestler is a defending state champion or high placewinner, very little “weight” is given to the results of prior years. Off-season results are not a factor in the current state seeding system. The current system allows for no subjectivity – it is a completely mathematical formula that requires no human opinions or input. Well….due to the fact that there really wasn’t much of a 2021 wrestling season, all of that went out the window! This tournament was seeded by a three-person committee which carefully evaluated each wrestler’s total body of work over the past 15+ months. Consideration was given to following: 2019-2020 regular season results, 2020 state qualifying tournaments, 2020 state championship tournaments, 2020/2021 off-season results, and the 2021 regular season when applicable. Is this a perfect system? Of course not…but I can say with absolute certainty that the committee made every effort to identify the top-8 wrestlers in every weight class. Please note – Journeymen Wrestling was NOT part of the seeding committee. Do not contact Frank or anyone else from Journeymen Wrestling if you have any questions about a seed.

Thank You to the committee for all of your hard work. Much appreciated👍
Just curious is to why a kid that did not wrestle at all last year gets seeded 3rd.
Seeds were not done solely on 2019-2020 results…off season and 2021 mini season were taken into consideration
