Beeson,
I think that as more and more clubs get comfortable using TrackWrestling, you will see more tournaments become a lot more flexible.

We have seriously discussed having clubs register their own kids in TrackWrestling for our open tournament next year. By doing so it will allow us to keep the registration open a lot longer.

Most handwritten tournaments have their brackets done by mid-week of their tournament. This greatly inhibits late entries to the tournement.

By using TrackWrestling, a tournament could leave registration open until Thursday at mid-night.

I do not think the local type tournament could get by with Friday only weigh-ins but you could offer a 6 to 7 Saturday weigh-in and be ready to wrestle by 8.

I believe the key to TrackWrestling is better planning, better understanding of the system, and great teamwork by the club or clubs putting on the tournament.

Just my 2cents...
