Registration has closed with 236 total participants. Down 23% from 2008. In 2007 we had around 220 wrestlers. In 2008 the tournament was in May and had 305 participants, 40% more than the prior year. I think it is safe to say, in spite of graduation, baseball, track, prom, etc. conflicts in May it is still a better date. The data supports it. I know that many wanted to have "more time for more tournaments." After Folkstyle state was complete the first club hosted FS/GR event was more than a month later. The last club hosted evented at STA only had around 125 wrestlers. There is time for more before a May date. Lets make a data supported decision and move the tournament back into May.
