I really do think that right now we have the right format. I think that maybe a ladder bracket might be better but I have been taking my son to freestyle and greco tournys for 5 years or so now and have yet to find anyone who really understands how they work! Also, I hear all the time that all this is for high school but really? Yes, after they get out of middle school then they will be in high school but all of these kids and parents and coaches are doing this right now and it does matter for them right now. "The future is uncertain and the end is always near!" Carpe Diem! I think I heard that in a movie once....
