lets put all age groups on full mats I say! Then we will have to petition the schools that we have host these tournaments to expand their facilities to accomodate and or lose a lot of seating in the stands. Otherwise lets find arena size venues to host our qualifiers in order to accomodate the full mats for all. I guess in order to do that the entry fees would need to increase to about $40 per wrestler in order to pay for such a venue.
Maybe a simple fix for the aformentioned problem could have been to change the split session to 8U, 10U and 14U in the morning with 12U and 16U in the afternoon putting the 14U and 16U age groups on the 3 full mats in the aux gym. I only witnessed a couple of problems with the 14U's on the half mats and for the most part everything went smoothly. Great job Winfield Club!
