I am in complete agreement with the suggestion of advancing the 15-16 Division directly to the District Tournament.

Another option I would favor is scheduling the 15-16 Division on Friday night of the weigh-ins.

This division would be wrestled much like the high school qualifying tournaments; the bout numbers wrestled on a first mat available basis. Depending on the numbers, the Division likely would be completed prior to weigh-ins closing.

The obvious downfall may be additional travel and perhaps an overnite stay in a hotel/motel.

If this division were to move to Friday night this would free up the mats reserved for the 15-16 division for the other divisions on Saturday.

Your thoughts please?
