Today was the 2nd time this year that we had bouts stacked so close together.
We had the one kid wrestle 5 matches in an hour and 20 min. This was with us skipping a few matches AND them adding in an exibition match.
You mention it to the ref or table worker and you would think you were asking them to cut off their foot. I know everyone wants to get out of there but this is too much. They are also so quick to blame it on Track Wrestling.
We really want to try this program in our club but I am just scared away by the stuff I see at other tournaments. The Valley Center people were working so hard today but it did not stop the very late start, stacked matches, and the riot that ALMOST happened at the table where they sell brackets. They had to start the tournament BEFORE coaches could even see brackets on the wall. They were just calling kids to tables.

I want to use track wrestling but we are trying to grow a club and put on a great tournament. I don't know if we can chance it.

Any Thoughts???
