Does anyone have an estimated number of participants/registered wrestlers for a District tournament using this format? Will there be any 32 or 64 man brackets? How long of a day will the tournament be? Could this discourage kids from trying to get to state? I get the cost saving as mentioned above.
Looking back at 2013 since D2 did not hold a sub for all age groups last year. There were 446 wrestlers in the North and 375 wrestlers in the South. With those numbers just about any club could pull off a split tournament without much effort and be done by 6ish. All but maybe 5-10 brackets in all age and weight groups would have been a 16 man or smaller, and the few that were bigger than 16 still would not have filled a full 24 man bracket.
This by far is one of the best decisions our district could make.
