Yes it is frustrating when a tournament starts late, and seating is hard to find. But since this was a novice tournament, from my experience with novice tournaments most of the parents are not in the stands anyway, they are on the edge of the mat. As far as rolling up the mats before the tournament was over, many tournaments do this, as the workers are not wanting to stay all night either. As long as this does not pose a danger toward the wrestlers still on the mat I see no problem with rolling up other mats. I was not at this tournament so I can not give my opinion on how it was run, but I do know it takes a lot of work behind the scenes that most people who have never put on a tournament knows about, and these select few seem to criticize tournaments and how they are run. Remember this was a novice tournament, it is for the kids to learn wrestling in a tournament format. And as said earlier if you are going to criticize a club or person please sign your name, so others can call you for suggestions on running tournaments.
