Bad point Mr. Lemon, most tournaments I go to have a hospitality room for coaches and officials and thus tournys make very little money off of them. Its the parents and spectators that make the difference. Keep them there all day and your likely to get two sales from them as opposed to the 1 that maybe you'll get if they are there for 3 hours. However I do agree with you on point 2 about doing things that way they have always been done, and honestly I don't have a problem with that, in fact I much prefer it. But then again I did grow up in a wrestling world were people were less concerned about going home and sitting on their butts watching tv and didn't mind being at a tournament for 5 or 6 hours. Thats just the way our community has gone, but just like any other legacy issue there will always be a strong contengency to keep the current system. I ask you this where does it stop? Perhaps you like to start making High school tournaments split style? Have 103-145 go in the morning then have 152-275 go later that afternoon? You would hate to miss the college football game that night for sure. Honestly the only people I really ever hear whine about this issue are those that really aren't dedicated to the sport all that much. I mean come on is 6 or 7 hours out of 1 day really all that much to ask?
