Different perspective. I am on here every year after this tournament complaining about virtually every single complaint I have read on this thread. This year I attended for the first time without a son wrestling. The only thing I noticed this year were the concession prices. My anxiety level was way down and I watched Dad/coaches make fools out of themselves arguing about silly things. I watched refs deflect and defuse situations that I was certain the coach was going to be ejected. The security was polite to me and my sons. We left the venue after 8, grabbed some drive thru and talked for 2 hours about wrestling, wrestlers and referees. 90% of the conversation positive. In past years it has been a bitch session the ride home. I guess what I'm saying is that this is a long day that is emotionally charged and things get magnified that otherwise may be overlooked because of the positives you experience, when not in the heat of battle.
