Coach,

Kansas has modified the HS rule on rest between matches. Rule 1-2-3 gives the Kansas kids wrestler 30 minutes rest between matches unless the coaches and wrestlers involved agree to waive it. Kansas kids also have no limit as to the number of matches in one day. I don't think this is a national USAW modification, so the Iowa officials were not bound by that rule. It sounds like the tournament had it's usual bracketing problems and bout number mistakes. They have continued to promise improvement and it was better than the last two years, but as previously posted, Topeka never had any of these problems. It's time the USAW Nationals move the tournament to another state that can efficiently run it.
