I would like to offer congratulations to the Winfield Wrestling Club on a well run tournament. For this large of tournament, the split sessions are the only way to go. They did the best job we've experienced controlling people at matside! They did this with courteous mat marshals in red vests patrolling throughout the day. No parents were allowed at matside. The first two rows of bleachers were reserved for wrestlers and coaches only, which is a great idea! There was always a place to sit for wrestlers and coaches waiting on matches. Coaches were required to wear an identifying wristband to be on the floor. A valid USA Coaches card was required to qulify for the coaches pass.

The officiating was good all day except for one questionable call late in the tournament. This was a very competitive match between a TOHK & a Winfield wrestler.

I would rate the Winfield A+ on organization and A- on officiating. Overall this was the best run tournamnent we have attended this year!

Good job Winfield!
