I am all for supporting wrestling everywhere. I would support your tournament if it were the weekend before. We have gone to the Super 32 for four years. This is my son's last year and we will go again. The changes they have made are great. I certainly wish the west coast kids and any others who will be going to Vegas were going to be in Greensboro. It seems the wrestling community is its own worst enemy. Other than Fargo there is a national tournament left that doesn't have another major event scheduled head to head against it. So are these really national events? Not so much anymore. They are becoming regionals that are by-in-large attended by the states in close proximity with a few stragglers.

Last year we talked with a dozen D1 coaches in Greensboro. I am guessing you won't get many to change their plans this year. I think it would be a big risk to go to Vegas in a tournament's first year especially when it is scheduled up against an event that has been hugely popular.

Nothing bad to say just sad that there isn't a way to wrestle in both events.
