Will, Great idea. I would have had no issue with the hotel room if we started wrestling Friday night. This would also keep families from having to spend the money on a second night in a hotel, like a two day tournament. Weather we combine weight classes or make it a "festival" for the younger age groups we do need to get them more time wrestling different kids.

It was nice to see the numbers up so high. As long as we can keep them coming back. I heard numerous comments from 1st families that they were not coming back due to the weigh-in and the length of the tournament. Weigh-in and start wrestling Friday night would make the Hotel worth it and shorten Saturday. That might keep some of those wrestlers coming back.
