Vince, I noticed the largest number of incomplete brackets seemed to be at either end of the weight brackets, and this was at all age groups. I'm not sure what can be done about this. It seems there is no easy answers, because it involves change, and we all know how hard that is. I have a real soft spot for the 16u, not only because that is where we've spent the past 2 years wrestling, but because I know my son discovered kid wrestling as a freshman. I really believe that extra mat time helped make him a HS state qualifier as a sophomore, and a HS state medalist as a junior. Regardless of what decisions are made, the choice should be what is best for the kids. These choices will not involve my son as he is too old to compete anymore, but is planning to help coach next year.
