Thank you for the great Tournament lots of tough competition. Only a few things I think could make this tournament a little better is #1 Wrestle for a true champion. This use to be done at all tournaments when many of us coaches were wrestling but for some reason we have changed this because parents seem to thank that it makes it to long of a tournament. The only ones that are really saying this is the parents who's kid had second then lost it to the 3rd placer. Top tournaments like Battle of the Belt need to bring this back. If not then there needs to be a seeding meeting before the tournament.
#2 Move the table where the kids picked up their Belts and medals. With it butted up to the mat and the older kids wrestling while they were still passing out the awards was asking for trouble. Glad no little kid was hurt or a move stopped because there were kids in the wrestling area. Also since this is a such a great tournament and bringing in kids from not only around the state but from other states there needs to be a stand where the kids can have their pictures taken with all the placers.
#3 And the least important and also maybe the hardest to change. Even though it was able to get food inside for the kids. We should be able to take the kids to the great Buffet at the Casino after the tournament. If they have to go through a back door because they are not allowed on the main floor that would be ok. But there should be a way to get them to eat there. Even in Vegas kids can walk through and around the gaming machines.
