Shawn,

I agree with your position and it has caused additional concern for many parents at our club as well. i heard a number of discussions at practice last night about 5 and 6 year olds who woke at 5:30 so older siblings could wrestle in the morning and then the little guys didn't wrestle until 2:00 in the afternoon. i understand the philosophy behind the split tourneys but it's awfully difficult for those little guys to sit/run around a hot gym all day and then not be exhausted by the time they step on the mat.
