District 5 seeding controversy

As I noted last night, the District 5 brackets are out for this weekend's tournament. I still don't have enough time to do a detailed analysis of them, but I've had enough people ask me about the 145-pound bracket to make it worth a quick post.
The burning question is: How can Berlin's Braden Fochtman be the No. 1 seed when he was beaten not once but twice by Chestnut Ridge's Trent Crouse?
I know, it seems illogical at best. The simple answer is, the system says that head-to-head results are only taken into account if the difference between two wrestlers' point totals is 15 or less. With Fochtman and Crouse, they weren't even close. Fochtman had 240 points, compared with 175 for Crouse, so it wasn't even close.
What's more amazing is that Fochtman, from what I've been told, would have been the top seed in the entire tournament at any weight. One coach told me that Fochtman's 240 points were more than Austin Buttry, who beat three state placewinners, and Ryan Easter, who was a state runner-up last season. Taylor Cahill also was over 200 points, which was a number that I was told only Nick Roberts had topped in the past few years.
I'm baffled as to how Berlin's wrestlers could have accrued so many points with what certainly looked like a much weaker schedule than Chestnut Ridge's. Both teams were in the Thomas tournament. There was some good competition at the Sheetz Holiday Classic and one or two decent matches at the Redbank Valley tournament and the Mountaineer Duals, but those don't compare to Ridge's schedule, which includes the Brookville Ultimate Duals and POWERade.
Seedings are always difficult, and Berlin was on the other end of this a few years ago when Jacob Craig was the second seed to Bedford's Jacob Krupa, who he had beaten twice. I understand why the system requires points to be taken into consideration for head-to-head to matter. Since Nick Roberts came up earlier in the post, let's use him for a hypothetical example. Say he was wrestling a .500 wrestler but had an injury that forced him to default or that he got caught in a headlock and pinned by the hypothetical average wrestler. Should he, a two-time state champ heading into districts, have been the second seed because of that? I think we could all understand that he shouldn't. But those are very rare scenarios that don't occur often, if at all. Scenarios like the Fochtman-Crouse one seem to happen more often.
