Definitely need to consider splitting that tourney into two days or adding a gym and more mats. Can you imagine what time we would have gotten out of there if ALL of the matches had been wrestled? Without all of the forfeits, we would have been there past midnight.

We either go to two gyms, or two days. Going in, I thought we would be there until 6:00, and that shouldn't bother anyone. When I heard our entries were up about 50%, I thought it might turn into a long day, but not 10:30 pm. I don't even know if Rose Hill has another gymnasium, but if we had 4 more mats in another gym, we could definitely get out of there by 6:00pm in a one day format. 9 until 10:30, but really call it 12:30 if we wrestled all of the matches, is 15 1/2 hours on 6 mats. Should get us out in about 9.5 hours on 10 mats, or 6:30 or so. If we can promise this kind of exit time, I think we can keep our numbers up. If we don't do something about it, we can plan on declining numbers, IMO.
