Brackets at Tulsa Nationals...

Sammy was in a 64 man bracket this year. The hand writing was so small and illegible, I had to break out my readers and a magnifying glass. The copy quality was poor... Yet, I had to pay $2 for my copy which was quickly outdated because of scratches.

Why wouldn't you use what is available today? You could charge $50 for a kid to change weight classes instead of disqualifying him. You could move your deadline to something more reasonable like the Wednesday before the tournament instead of ten days before. The brackets could be quickly redrawn when a seed no shows or when you have scratches. You could boost your coverage and advertising opportunities.

It does confuse me that Jack doesn't embrace technology. Numbers were WAY down at the CK Kickoff. I haven't looked at the totals for this year's TN but I hope they are down too. The only way he will change is if it starts impacting his pocket book.
