Whereas Parkersburg South has won the OVAC tournament the past three seasons (maybe more), why are they not involved in the OVAC Dual Meet Championship?

They didn't wrestle enough OVAC duals this year to qualify for it.

More like they couldn't get enough OVAC teams to commit to wrestle them. They tried. Why doesn't the OVAC require at least 3 teams to wrestle them in order to qualify for the Dual Championships? That would be the better question.

So what I am understanding is that South could not get 3 OVAC teams to wrestle them, so in return, this kept South from being eligible to compete in a conference competition that they are a member of?

That is what I was told!

So we have a "rule" that forbids a conference school from competing in the conference championship because the said school cannot get other conference schools to wrestle them.

So the conference big wigs would rather let this happen and have a mockery of a championship take place?
