I think that one of the worst things about having all the classes together is how long it takes. By the time you reach state most people are rooting for an individual. Finals take over 3 hrs with all the classes together. That is ridiculous! No one likes to sit in one place for over 24 hrs in a weekend, yet that is what you are forced to do by having all the classes together. Also, The award ceremony should be a thing of great honor and prestige. Currently it is more a matter of how fast they can get the medals out. I would much rather see single class state tournaments.
