Agree, agree, agree. Had to step out tonight to watch that otherb winter sport. Home at 9:15 PM. Cannot find an updated bracket for any state tournament. For 6A and 5A brackets refer the fan to a Wichia South HS page---all those HS kid technicans probably went home at 3:30 PM. Even the KSHSAA online brackets are not up dated!!!

We hear alot about how good are other states' touirnaments Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, the other day we heard from Indiana. Here in Kansas we had live streaming from 321A, live streaming for 5A and 6A. Nothing for 4A. Do they not have TV stations, broadcast, streaming cappability in Salina---this is supposed to be the electronic data era.

As for the live streaming----much better than nothing----but lacks a lot. Appreciate all Fox Sports did for 5A and 6a. Hope this was a building experience for them so as to work on next years format. A few suggestions if I may:

1. Four mats per announcer is too much---don't get much more than the wrestlers name. Maybe 2 announcers/crews per each 4 mats (would require for complete announcer crews--2 for 5A and 2 for 6A.

2. Need wrestler's names on the screen for each match. One of the 321A broadcast had names (in a green box for the green leg band and a red box for the red leg band).

3. Need a separate clock and a scoreboard in each screen and match.

4. Some where have an on screen link to a set of updated brackets--perhaps pull the brackets up in the side box--scroll up or down to select a weight class, scroll left or right to swof the round in the bracket

5. Surely there is a tracking software set availabel somewhere that links 1, 2, 3, and 4 above. Perhaps each announcer crew would include a couple of data entry techs who would enter the wrestler's name to the software for the applicable mat- the software would put the name on the screen, entering the match results woul immediately update the bracket. Hardest to do would probably be the clock and scoreboard in that they are controlled at the officials tables--still, something to work on.

5. Screen size on computer screen is too small. Resize all the side boxes (advertizing) and all the banners and bands across the top and bottom of the screen.

Again, kudos, backslaps, congrats, thank yews, let me kiss your ring, etc to Fox sports.

Also, to be complete, need to be able to smell the popcorn!!
