The problem is the structure, the time and the costs. You have to wrestle in New Mexico to go to Green Bay. You have to go to Hays to wrestle in New Mexico. Both are all-day drives one way or plane trips. The time allocation is almost two weeks. The costs are, at a minimum, hundreds of dollars per event. How much are parents supposed to pay for young kids to participate. What you are asking is that the kids drop everything else and for the parents to cough up thousands of dollars to participate. Obviously it overwhelms most people. That doesn't even factor in the possibility that the brackets may be minimal. I think all of this needs to be restructured. Why is our regional so far away?
