A very good tournament. Lots of good rasslin. BUT NEEDS SOME FINE TUNING:
1. Mat 3 Clock/scoreboard (a one sided clock setting on the scorers table) could not be seen by the north half of the stands. 2 or 3 problems: Crowds, parents, and team mates standing next to the coaches, the mat and the scorer's table and blocking the view of the clock. Clock sitting too low on the table (note: a 3 sided clock on a tripod sat next to Mat 4 and could be seen from all seats). I asked the announcer, a B/L person, if they could reposition the mat 3 clock. "Can't do, too short a cord". Not a good answer mid day Saturday. By late in the wrestlebacks, the mat 3 clock was turned to were it could probably only be seen from mat 4 scoree's table. Probably could have bought 40 feet of cord and jacks at Radio Shack for $10.00. Not there Friday but suspect they probably had the same problem. For this to be a high quality tournament, should have bought, borrowed, rented or stole another 3 sided clock---or at least a longer cord!!
2. Crowd control. If the announcer said it ounce he said it several times. Something to the affect "If you are not wrestling clear the area along the walls". Evidently everyone saw his lips a movin but didn't hear a word he said! 5 or 6 of Basehors finest were standing in the commons area, but guess thay were not available for crowd control.
3. 145 bracket not available on Friday night on the web site. Understandthis happened with the same bracket in 2009. Also, notsure how and when they do the web cast updates. Some came quick and for others a long long delay. Friday night at 10:30 PM, looking at the web cast, I thought they had fibished and the winners bracket semis would be first thing Sat AM. Wrong--had completed another round or 2 of the losers brackets and the semis. Just a long delay in publidhing the updates.
Again, a very good, enjoyable tounament for all: wrestlers, coaches, parents, fans!
4. If you are going to have 'Archives' of previous Bobcat Classics on the website, please have them really be archives. Every year I clicked on (2004, 05, 06, etc.) kept going back to last year's tourney (2009).
But, thanks for the site anyway. Just some 'constructive criticism'. You might just want to remove the archive links altogether or get them to work correctly.
