I used the word "prediction" because you are saying the rankings, based on prior results, are predictive of what would likely happen in the future in head to head meetings and thus you are assigning the moniker of "deserving" based on what the rankings "predict" would h...

Re: "Wrestle Ins"

You might have provided more support for the regional problem.

I kind of like the idea of adding each regions 5th place wrestler to the state tournament.
