The word on the street is there will be a modification to the pill selection this season based on an Intercepted memo sent into Bear Tracks Headquarters.

The objective is to separate the #1 and #2 ranked wrestlers in each weight class.

The intercepted memo states: "The coaches committee will rank the top two wrestlers in each weight class using the regional seeding criteria. Three pills will be drawn. Any conflicts with the 1 and 2 ranking wrestlers will be resolved by going to the next order of the pill that was drawn in that weight class".

It appears rankings WILL matter.

Know your #1 and #2 wrestlers. Know your rankings. Know your team's scores and results. Make sure the rankings are accurate. Know your regional seeding criteria.

Consult your local coach for details.

Keep chilling while PILLing.

Regional situation: Just a thought. 1 and. 2 are in the same region. 1 or 2 injury defaults semis, receives a bye in the wrestle backs and defaults to 4th place and qualifies foes states. Will they split them and how?

If the decision makers decide to continue to recognize the #2 as the #2 after the default situation, then they could simply select the next pill to separate 1 and 2 for this given weight class.

So will there have to be a rerank after regional results are in or will they just go with the pre-regional rankings?

The bigger question is: who is doing the rankings and is there any criteria on the rankings?

Just leave it alone! The goal is to have a state champion!
