The reason pa is not represented well at this nationals is because most of the top level guys are wrestling duals on teams. We have and go to duals just about every weekend all over the east coast. The decision to spend money on a tourney that may or may not have a big bracket or go to duals and get guaranteed 5 matches is a no brainer out here on the east coast.

exactly. So what is a National tournament if the best kids in the COUNTRY are not there?? These are all regional tournaments with a few from either coasts sprinkled in. Again, depending on the bracket. Brute might be every bit as tough as Tulsa, Reno or JOC. What it boils down to is daddy's wallet nationals. Some of the best kids in the world are priced out of any of these tournys. Look at the national dual results EVERY year for proof. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to crack this code!
