The days where 4A, 5A, and 6A were combined were great/horrible. It was awesome to see the crowd and all the classes, finals were great, but the venue was a dump, security was horrible, and the time schedule was brutal. The move to split 4A allowed each site to have 4 mats per class (is it that way in Wichita for 5/6A), which allows teams to get out, eat, and get to their hotel before midnight. Saturday's schedule allows for the finals and travel time to get back home. It is what's in the best interest of the student athlete, at least that is the theory anyways. I agree with Kit in that missing more class time and more expense to schools, parents, etc...is a hard sell. It would be great to see the large crowds, but the trade offs have to be pretty convincing to persuade the powers that be. The same can be said to the weigh-ins in Kansas.
