A few changes from last year in the qualifier allocations. The big change is Delaware Valley taking five qualifiers from the Midwest Region over to the Metro conference. Other shifting was adding one to Great Lakes and taking one away from Wisconsin. Everything else remains the same. The NCAA allocates qualifiers based on teams, participants, and All-Americans and uses the past three years of data, weighting the previous year at 50% and the two years prior each at 25%.
Additionally, the 2011 NCAA Championship will have 170, rather than 160 qualifiers. After the automatic qualifiers and wildcards are determined, wrestlers will be added to make sure all brackets have at least 16 wrestlers, and historical data will be used to determine the allocation of any remaining qualifiers until there are 170 competitors.

yea, but it will take more than 1 standout year for us to get any respect. not to mention only 3 of our AAs are returning.
The NCAA allocates qualifiers based on teams, participants, and All-Americans and uses the past three years of data, weighting the previous year at 50% and the two years prior each at 25%. It’s all in the formula.
each conf should get a minimum of 3 wild card. Example centennial has three wieght classes with two top 10 wrestlers in them, 2 of which won’t be at the tourn. the present system is self propetuating and doesn’t bring the best in, to much wieght is given to wrestlers that have already graduated. This year the centennial may 4 second place and possibly one third capable of placing. They will probably return to there normal strenghth. this needs to be factored in to give these wrestlers the oppertunity they deserve.
