State Wrap Up - Episode 12: The Georgia Bracket Breakers 1A-3A and Girls

A bracket breaker is defined differently for different states and sometimes differently by classification in the same state. Mostly it comes down to how large the bracket is as to what defines a bracket breaker and where they finish. So read each state first to understand how I have chosen to define it. Broadly speaking … it is a wrestler that comes in under the radar and goes on to win matches they either “shouldn’t” win (according to their previous weeks finish).

In Georgia - we selected the bracket breakers as those wrestlers that finished 3rd in their Area and made the podium at the state tournament.

The Girls had very large brackets because there was no sectional tournament qualifier the weekend before. So we included a bracket breaker as any wrestler not seeded in the top 8 that made the podium.
