European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - January 28, 1993, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Don t matter on mat there a something amiss on the Mats. The Dodds Germany it Bennof mentors have decided that team standings done to mean anything when it comes to the Central european championship so no team Points will be tabulated. The no Points format was employed during the regular season in three tournament Stylc competitions. The feeling was that More individuals could wrestle that allowing the bigger schools with Talent galore to wrestle More than one athlete in any Given weight classification would produce better balanced Competition for everyone during the season that there would be fewer forfeits Etc. That a the Way things went this Winter. Some of the bigger schools wrestled different athletes in the same weight and Many of the athletes got experience they normally  have had. That thinking is All Well and Good during the regular season a maybe a but 1 really have some serious doubts concerning such benefits. Especially after being told that More than one wrestler from a school will be allowed in any Given weight category during the division championships and that More than one from the same school Wilt be Able to qualify from the same weight division for Central european Competition what Ever happened to the old fashioned wrestle offs where two kids of equal Talent from the same school in the same weight bracket matched skills on the mat to decide who would represent the school a a and the Winner did a the feeling is a a Wurzburg Mentor Duane Werner said a that the teams will get their Chance to Shine in the division championship meets and the Central european finals should stress individual achievements. Some of the coaches pointed out that not keeping Points in the Central europeans would be More fair to the smaller schools who really done to have prep Pickin s Ben Abrams much Chance to win the  permitting More than one wrestler from the satiric school to compete in the same weight class in the division meet and allowing All of them to qualify for the Central european meet certainly does no to smack of fairness to the Small schools to me. What is wrong with the system that has been used for to these Many years whereby Heidelberg accumulated a string of seven straight big schools championships and eight out of nine titles and accent won six straight Small schools crowns Heidelberg won last year beating Ramstein the Only team to interrupt the Lions skein 163f/i-i58vl accent took Small schools laurels with 114 Points. In several years recently Small schools Power of cent has finished As High As third in the Overall standings. Way Back there in the mid-1970s, before Europe wide championships were abolished upper Heyford one of the really Small schools outscored the big schools Best two successive years to win Overall accolades. A a we la be pointing towards the division i team title at Ramstein a Werner said a but Well still be gunning for individual championships in the Central europeans at Heidelberg because i feel we have several outstanding wrestlers at Wurzburg who might be the Best in Europe too Al a. Werner said that he did no to completely agree with the no Point format and in fact pointed out that he would be keeping an unofficial personal Tab on team Points a just to see How we would have fared  a the no Point format creates a void concerning a True Champion say for the Sake of discussion Heidelberg Cap lures the division i accent wins division 11 and Vilseck prevails in division i. Would any of them have Legal claim to Quot Best in Europe recognition As Long As there Are no Europe wide tournaments that will be a moot question. A. However counting Points in the Central europeans a would lend some credence to such a claim although Lakenheath which has become a dynasty in the . Also might Lay some claim to such recognition.
