Wow. I really have to scratch my head in reading some of these posts. I agree with limiting the brackets, however, if you have 14-16 kids at a weight and you can get a full 8 man a-b bracket, than do it. If you can't, put them all together. This is not about weeding out kids that "don't have the natural ability" nor is about handing out participation ribbons. They are kids for heaven's sake. It is about developing kids who love this sport. Yes, that is done in the room. It is also takes place on Saturday. Fifteen second matches developes neither.
