I agree. Show what you got. I understand the dodging concept but as a tournament director you can choose to allow those type of changes or not.
Personally I think there are advantages to showing the matrix/list soon. Allows you to get mistakes found quickly as well as possibly getting more kids to come to your tournament. I get enough calls the week of the tournament and certainly don't want more but I'd rather get calls early in the week vs. the parents coming up the morning of the tournament.
Also, I've personally seen several times where a kid comes to specific tournaments knowing there is certain kid[s] that will be there they want to wrestle. I don't mind enabling that to happen as normally it makes both kids better.
There isn't any reason for the tournament directors to NOT post at least their matrix. Can someone give a valid reason as to WHY they shouldn't post the matrix, even the wrestler list??? If your'e "dodging", chances are your kid won't get any better. In Track Wrestling, it's an easy step to create/add the matrix and wrestler list. Also, what tournament director want's to get a call the week of the tournament?...
