First of all I hope everyone got home safe either last night or today from Salina.

I need clarification from Salina Wrestling Club regarding how they set up their brackets. How do you determine A and B?

My kid was sent in as an "A" wrestler - was placed in the "B" bracket. When we questioned Salina tournament people Friday night we were told that the other kids in the bracket were all "A" wrestlers except for 1 kid who was a "B". Well, with a total of 12 kids in my sons bracket entered in the tournament I find that hard to believe. Also, if all the kids were "A" wrestlers, except one, why not put them in one sixteen man bracket?

Unfortunately, two of the kids from the "A" bracket were kids we don't normally see in local tournaments - that is the point of traveling to tournaments outside your district! My son ended up wrestling two boys from our district that we see nearly every weekend and one we haven't seen yet. This is the second year in a row that this has happened.

Does anyone know why Salina brackets like this? This will help make the decision whether we try it again next year!

I would like to add that the tournament overall ran very smoothly, concession prices were reasonable, seating was comfortable. Pictures took too long but I think I was in more of a rush to get on the road!
