Food for thought!! If we would have made 400 our limit, those who didn't turn in their entries until Wednesday of that week wouldn't have had a place to wrestle on Saturday. If you are from where I think you are from, your club didn't turn their entries in till Wednesday, so that means that your kids wouldn't have had a place to wrestle on such short notice. Remember it's all for the kids! And with all the exits that are available, in all directions, there would have been plenty of time if something happened such as a fire, for everyone to escape. There comes a time even though you have a limit, that sometimes you have to give a little so that the surrounding kids have a place to wrestle and not have to travel a long way. Thanks for your concern about the fire safety, but in every tournament, your not always going to make everyone happy. We went with what we thought was right by allowing the kids to wrestle. If I was that concerned about fire safety issues, I personally would've pulled my kids from the tournament. Thanks for all the positive feedback that everyone has given, hope to see everyone next year.
