I think that whole tournament was rediculous. The mats were way to small, the tournament way to long, and the wait once you were done wrestling was way too long as well. We waited over an hour to get my son's medal and bracket, and that was after my husband went down and asked them nicely 3 times what the hold up was. I do believe we went through this same crap at their own tournament. They need to see how other towns run their tournaments and take notes! My son has been wrestling on half mats all year long and then we go to Districts to wrestling on a quarter mat? We haven't done that since we moved out of six and under. I think all of the kids and parents have that complaint. We also had a middle school kid with us that has been wrestling on a full mat all year and then gets stuck on a half mat - come on! I am not sure who picks where the District tournaments are held each year, but they need to take into consideration the size of location and the numbers at the tournaments. We were crammed in the seats, the announcer was telling people to get off the gym floor and sit in the bleachers, well - guess what - there was no room to sit - there were people sitting in the stairway as well. I could go on and on with complaints about this tournament.
