We have to take the breaks we do partly to keep our table workers happy. We are working with a small dedicated group of workers, and while some of you like working straight through, it kills them that first day. If we short breaked them or wrestled straight through, we would have a real hard time finding anyone to work it. I know coaches and fans don't care about their problems, but we have to. We take the breaks we do for good reasons and Joe spends an enormous amount of time planning. 37 team tournaments are not as simple to run as people think. It might not be for everyone and that's fine, but we've done 16 of them, and we have reasons for the things we do.
At our tournament we can't get all the coaches, officials and workers through the hospitality room line in less than 30 minutes, let alone give them time to eat.
