I haven't been real involved in the last 15 years or so, but when did did tourneys start handing out the medals at the tables and not in front of the crowd at the podium??

Been to three this year and have yet to see medals handed out on the podium. I guess this is a thing of the past??

Salina and Wichita still do podium and pictures but to tell you the truth, most wrestlers and families probably wouldn't be patient enough to do it every weekend for every tournament. I have worked the head table for our kids tournament the past few years, the quicker you get the medals and wall brackets out, the better.

This is truly the age of grab and go. everyone seems to want immediate gratification and to get the heck out of there.

I guess I'm not in that big of a hurry.
