I don't understand why it is so important to some to see Hays tournament take the place of the Classic. I have to agree with an earlier post, why not make them different weekends with two premier wrestling events in Kansas leading up to districts and state. My son wrestled the classic last year and I thought the lay out of the tourney was great. As to all the fuss about having been a horse show the weekend before, apparently their is a few people that have never been to a horse show at that level. My children both show horse, and I'll tell you that I have seen kids that are not taken care of near as well as those show horses. When people are paying high dollar for show horses their is no part of the barn that is ever left dirty for any length of time. The horses and handlers are very well groomed and I would say you would get more germs out of a public restroom. I think running down a good tournament is a bad way to promote our sport!
