This is a quote from your thread regarding the Midwest Showdown:

"I would like to invite you to the 4th Annual Midwest Showdown Wrestling Tournament held in St. Joseph, Mo on January 5, 2013. This tournament has drawn from 7-9 states in the past and continues to grow every year."

The competition was top notch in his bracket and he definitely got some great matches. It is what it is...Over and done now, and today is a new day. Just hard to explain to a 10 year old why he got 4th when he did one of the moves he has been taught to do and the official did not recognize it, and lost at his chance of challenging back for 2nd (the only other kid he lost to was the kid who took first and he has beat the kid who got the original second in previous years).

I'm not going to turn this into a Ks Vs. Mo thing...that deserves a whole different thread. I just would like to know that when we are spending the extra money for the extra competition that we would have better than novice level officials.
