This is the 1st time attending The Battle of the Belt, and I have to say it was a good experience. Venue was top notch with plenty of room to move around and coach. The event security were very polite and helpful if needed. The coaches chairs were a great touch you don't see that much at kids tournaments. The competition was great, officials appeared to be good from what I seen. On things that could possibly improve this tournament, I feel at a tournament of this caliber coaches should be required to show a USA coaches card before they can obtain a coaches band. I think you still could charge the $15 for extra bands, but just make sure they are coaches with background checks completed. And the other thing is too many advanced wrestlers in the novice division. I know this is next to impossible to enforce, because there are always going to be those families/clubs that are trophy hunting rather than competition hunting. But overall great tournament and we will be back.
