i think the real classless move happened to on of our kids. his bracket was seeded and posted, set up where we would see some kansas competition. then at the request of 2 oklahoma coaches it was re-seeded so the oklahoma kids didn't have to wrestle on the same side of the bracket. many will think we are bitter because we lost to the ok kid, we are not. we have wrestled him 4x this season. we ended up wrestling both ok kids. we go to 2 or 3 oklahoma tournaments to start the year, plus the kickoff, and tulsa natl's. we don't go to the classic for the parade or the atmosphere of the horse barn. we go for tough competition and the chance of seeing some top kansas kids from other districts. what we got was an exact exzample of what mr chenoweth was talking about, this won't be a premier tourney, until it is ran like one. you don't go to a roller production ask to rebracket so you don't have to wrestle timmy!! we would never ask for the bracket to be re-drawn, and didn't complain (until now i guess) that it was. just trying to help keep it a good tourney maybe take it back to a premier tourney for all weights and ages. btw this bracket had at least 2 ks studs who didn't place, both ok kids placed, tx kid placed too. you just can't expect to continue to attract these quality kids if you don't run a quality tournament.
