I also forgot something. The Hays Coliseum is packed every year for 3-2-1A. I think one reason this is is because the Tournament is spectator friendly. The action is much faster, because you are not waiting for 3 mats to get done to start each new weight in the finals. Everyone is focused on one mat, so the atmosphere is much more intense. I think breaking up the Tourney's could actually increase attendance and possibly offset the cost of an increased # of venues.
Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn- and most do.
