One thing I would like to point out right way. Did any of you who want 6U added to the current state series happen to look around the Expo Center Saturday morning? Where in the heck are we going to put them? You are talking about 200 more kids and the accompanying relatives. NO WAY will it work. I am going to keep pushing and pushing to shorten the season for 6, 8, and 10 divisions until we make it happen.
I was thinking the same thing, especially after reading Badbo's post last week. My other thought was if they made it similar to Brute nationals. Basically adding a day making it a 3 day tourney, splitting up wrestlers in 2 groups each wrestling 2 days, with different weigh ins and different wrestling days, with finals on the last day. Tough do though, lots more money spent for families and not good during these times.
I do like the idea of shortening the season. We wrestled junior high, took time off during kids, but still wrestled some of the major national tourneys, and ended kids with 68 matches. Still have MS duals. Looking forward to see how it will go next year for the boy in HS, less matches but more practice time. From what I've seen from other HS wrestlers this week at kids, lots of them seemed to have improved greatly after their first HS season.
