I agree that the split format could help wreslers from getting burned out after spending 10+ hours at a tournament, especially when they only have 1 or 2 other wrestlers in their bracket and do very little wrestling in that 10+ hours time. We have weighed in at 7:30 in the morning and not wrestled until 1:00 in the afternoon. There has to be a way to change this.

As for table workers, weigh in people, ect, split their time in half too. I know not every club has the luxury of plenty of workers, but the parents from other clubs who help would be there either morning or afternoon and could work at those times.

And for the morning running late and the afternoon being scheduled too early...for the few times that may happen will not be a factor to most if all the other tournament times have been cut down to 4-5 hours.

I say Split Format all the way!!! Thank you for the intrest.
