The down time was minimal, there would be an empty mat here and there for 2 or 3 minutes, that was all for the most part. I thought the Rose Hill people did a great job considering. As has been stated, the table workers put in a long day for no pay and overall did a very good job(if they had been stock brokers on Wall Street they would have wanted a large bonus and for a change would have earned it). Part of the problem with the long day was the quality of competition. These were really good kids. There were very few short matches - not many quick pins - and a lot of matches went all 3 rounds. And Sportsfan02 I do not see how track wrestling affected not knowing the numbers - all you got to do is shorten the time to register - but that cuts down participation.
As said, needs to go back to 2 days, but then people complain about having to get hotel rooms, taking off work, or wrestling on Sundays. No system is perfect.
Over all, hats off to all involved - the Rose Hill people did well and the wrestlers who endured.
