Why not support the opportunity. If it doesn't work it won't be renewed. There is nothing lost by trying something new and letting the market determine whether or not it should exist. If no one attends and the weight classes are empty we will go back to drawing board. I really don't think that will be the case but I don't think it is right for us to decide what is best for the kids, that is the parents job.

The costs are not that great. I managed the middle school state tournament last year and we only had 220 wrestlers but made a profit even incurring some first year costs. If 150 wrestlers pay 20 then that is $3,000. That will cover the arena and officials. Cost is absolutely NOT an issue.
