The Emporia Tourney in my mind went well, as for the ref on mat 1
6&U are the hardest kids to wrestle. With all the flip-flopping going on it is sometimes hard to keep it straight. I was appalled to see the parents crowding all the mats yelling so loud that nobody could hear a whistle. I saw many kids keep wrestling after the whistle had blown. I know the need to yell when your kid is wrestling but I heard many coaches complaining about communicating with their kids. Maybe instead of blasting referees(dadofa) you should take a proactive approach and help control order along matside. Referees have enough to do other than keep people off the edge of the mat. As for the late start, I have rarely been to a tournament that has started on time. Maybe if people have a secret to starting on-time they should share it instead of criticizing everyone else for not knowing about it.
