I have been to a tournament and told that I would have to settle for one match with a girl instead of wrestling boys due to the availability of competition, even though it was only one match. Believe me, I was not happy to find that I drove that distance for one match, but I wrestled it because it was competition. Maybe if you want to be able to indicate that there is only boys brackets you should publicize having girls brackets and try to get reasonably close age/weight competition for the girls to wrestle.

I just got around to this thread after hearing about it for some time now and just want people to relax. In a way I absolutely hate forums. It is a place for people to nit pick and throw out biased opinions. There are a total of 3 tournaments in this state this year that even call themselves "Girls" tournaments. So, saying girls should go wrestle in only girls tournaments or that your sons are missing out is nothing but people wanting to argue. If you want to bring your son to a tournament that consists mainly of girls by all means do so, but do not get on the forum later and tell me that boys have a hard time wrestling girls because they don't want to touch them or that boys and girls should not wrestle.
