Not commenting on the Hutch tourney, but, PLEASE use split formats. The advantages for the parents are huge - stands are not as crowded, you can find a place to park and you do not have to spend the whole day at a tournament. I know some who will claim that there is no better way to spend your day, but some of us have things to do at home. Also, the younger kids stay more focused. I really believe split formats will help retain more kids/parents. The non-crazy, parents on the edge who are just getting into kids wrestling normally are not thrilled with being in a gym all day. In the future, if we have a choice, the tourney with the spit format will be where we are going.
