I am in complete agreement with the suggestion of advancing the 15-16 Division directly to the District Tournament.
Another option I would favor is scheduling the 15-16 Division on Friday night of the weigh-ins.
This division would be wrestled much like the high school qualifying tournaments; the bout numbers wrestled on a first mat available basis. Depending on the numbers, the Division likely would be completed prior to weigh-ins closing.
The obvious downfall may be additional travel and perhaps an overnite stay in a hotel/motel.
If this division were to move to Friday night this would free up the mats reserved for the 15-16 division for the other divisions on Saturday.
Your thoughts please?
The only negative I can think of to having the 16U on Friday night would be the one time only weigh-in. But I like the idea! The whole age group could be wrestled in 2-3 hours.
