WILD CARD BERTHS
To earn a wild-card ticket to states, a wrestler must finish either second or
third in his respective weight within his section. A section is allowed to have
two wild cards per weight. In all, four wrestlers are awarded wild-card berths
and two are alternates.
The formula to determine wild cards is based on win-loss records, previous
section and state placewinnings and how many state placewinners reside in the
section you are from (used to aid wrestlers who face tougher competition
throughout the season).
There are 7 Nassau wild cards and 17 from Suffolk (including eight
alternates). All 24 Long Island wild cards are on the Division I level (no
Division II berths were given to Section VIII or XI wrestlers). Also, the CHSAA
does not receive wild cards.
