This won't shorten the season for those that want to keep wrestling. I am on board with a lot of your thoughts, but I also know how a lot of kids and parents are.

It is the easy route to NOT wrestle at all. We all know that. Making it "easier" for those that choose to not wrestle the "post"-season duals and national tourneys isn't hurting anyone that doesn't "want" to be hurt.

My kids' season will remain the same. We will start early November after our football season ends (we cut off our kids' football season the 3rd week of October), so we give them a week or so off until first of NOvemeber. We continue thru the state series, and have always had open rooms around the Wichita area for the kids that want to wrestle AFTER the state series. We'll be folkstylein' til early to mid april, then do a little FS GR through the FS GR State tourney. As our kids get older, they'll do more FS GR. LIttle guys, we do just enough to keep their nose in it.
