The Iowa High School Athletic Association Board of Control approved some new recommendations from the wrestling advisory committee. Five changes were unanimously approved.

A couple of the changes have to do with dual team postseason competition. Schools may now choose to opt out of those events by the first competition date. The qualifying process will change as well for Region Team Duals. The top two teams at sectionals in 1A and 2A previously qualified. Now just the 16 Sectional champions will automatically qualify, with the next 8 highest ranked teams by the Iowa Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association qualifying as well.

Seeding for the traditional state tournament has been impacted as well. Criteria regarding common opponents will be reduced from 2 points to 1 point. All 16 wrestlers will be seeded in each state tournament bracket as well.

Another change for regular season events will allow tournament hosts to determine the length of subvarsity matches.

Changes will go into effect for the upcoming 2020-21 season.
