Consider this....

Most of these tournaments are starting to be too big as it is now. They can barely hold the tournament where they are now without people getting on here and complaining about space and time.

Why do we continue to try and make the awards bigger and bigger? Really, these are just a local tournaments. I think we make them bigger in our own minds then they really are.

Why do kids need an incentive to wrestle? What happened to doing it for the love of the sport?

These tournaments will never draw the out of state talent that we desire because of USA cards.

All of these fancy Jackets, Singlet, Bikes, and "crazy" trohies are gonna cost money. Where does that come from? You are going to have to up the entry fees to $45-$50. Now your not getting the best, you are getting the ones that can afford it.

I still say it is a bad idea. What happens when they get to high school and college and all they get is a 2" medal? Let's be realists...the awards are for the parents not the kids. What do we have left to award them with....Tiara's...Crown's?
