I was at Iowa for the last two years. Last year it was probably the worst ran tournament I had ever been to. I recieved a letter of apology from the Iowa wrestling association assuring me it would be better this year. We decided to go again because Reno would be too expensive. This years tournament was the second worst tournamnet I had ever been to. It was a split format which accomplished nothing.9am -1pm midgets and cadets,this ran to almost 2pm.- 1pm-4pm novice and schoolboy, 5pm -conclusion all wrestlers. My son wrestled his first three matches between 2-6pm and made it to the finals. we figured we were done for the day, wrong thet were going to finish his bracket that night. about 10;45 pm he finally got to wrestle his finals match after being moved to three different mats. by the time he got his medal and his picture it was 11:45pm. This also happened to another of our wrestlers his medal match was #5045 at # 5039 he started getting himself ready at #5044 they changed the number to 9025 and wrestled through 9065, then 3 hours later they got baack to 5045. this was at about 10:30pm. Then our other kid went 1-1 on saturday matches 7 hours apart, was there until almost midnight and wrestled again at 9am.This turned into an 18 hour day at a wrstling tournament. 1400 kids 20 full size mats and no clue how to make it work. They need the people that run Kansas state tournament to handle this and we would have been done by 7pm on saturday.Next year we are going to the mid america classic.
