This is one of the best tournaments in regards to competition. If you are worried about the risks, DON'T GO. If you are not afraid of the competition then I don't see the problem. Too many people worry about things beyond their control. I have taken my boys there for 7+ years and they have never contacted any illnesses or had any injuries. If all you can do is find a negative out of this format than you, obviously, have little faith in our Kansas Wrestling Program. I implore you to find a better tournament for high competition than this. If the competitive level concerns you, why bother entering, anyway.
