Richard and gang did a great job. The facility and setup were great. We need to abandon having a state champ at every age group and weight below schoolboy. Then the kids could be grouped and given matches. Kids from other states could participate as well to bolster the numbers. The kids group would be an open tournament using block wrestling to get all kids three or four matches.
Schoolboy, Cadet, and Juniors should be one of two options. Put some teeth in the state tournament by making the champion the wrestler of choice for the dual team. The only way they could be unseated is by a two out three challenge at a Dual team prep camp.
1. Move the tournament back into May.
2. Eliminate age and weight classes for Kids.
3. Make the event a REAL Dual Team qualifier.
4. Create a dual team prep camp for all three dual teams to attend. It could be as simple as a weekend, on night gathering.
