My son wrestled in the elementry duals in Nebraska this year. The dual made the weekend of wrestling a lot funner cheering for a team versas cheering for one wrestler. I like the duals much better than tournaments. I would like to see more duals for kids also. My son learned that wrestling is not just about one person in a dual setting. Everyone has to wrestle good for the team to win. I think duals would help kids stay in wrestling longer. Could wrestle a couple of duals on a Saturday and the kids would be involved during the whole day. Not just a few matches. Just my thoughts on the matter of wrestling duals. This is my first experience with FR/GR. Yes the scoring is very different. But I do like it. Unless the majority wrestling fans are exposed to FR/GR it will always be foreign to them. They will not be intrested in watching. Change seems very hard for the wrestling community to handle. Just my thoughts.
