we go out of state to wrestle the national style tournaments when they dont cost a fortune which is very few. i do wrestle some tournaments in kansas but i still think that we have way too many small tournaments. its ok to have some but 3 within one hour of each other is too many. it will not work and somebody will have to cancel just like you see on the calender already. we dont need a national every week like someone said but we do need more novice and a few more bigger tournaments like derby, maize and salina and etc. we also need to spread the tournaments out on the same weekends. look at the numbers ark city pulled in. now thats because it was the only tournament and they have a good reputation for having a good tournament in the past. thats how we make kansas successful. not by having 3 or 4 kids in a bracket at every tournament.
