Richard,
We are trying to get a group together to present a split tournament format. That will a little bit of time to form the group and put together a proposal. Hopefully it will be given some consideration.
I would probably quit complaining about the mat sizes if all the age groups had equal size mats. Perhaps that might be the way to handle it. According to your thought if the 16 & unders had the same size small mats along with the other age groups then they too could also learn how to wrestle in the center of the mat. Aren't we trying to also teach young wrestlers motion and to move in a circle on their feet and not just tie up in the center?
