You guys are killing me............Beeson makes a comment, and I think yea.......that's right, then someone else makes a comment, and I think yea.........that's right, then Beeson replies to that and I agree whith his philosophy, then Cokeley makes his last comment and I agree with that. I'm trying not to be on both sides of the fense on this topic, but you all make valid points. As far as Beeson taking his son to all of these National Tournaments to gain the experience and the development he wants and needs to continue being successful, I would guess most people couldn't afford that. Beeson, do you have that kind of time and money? If so, send some down my way.

Seriously though, I do think tournament directors do need to split brackets up when possible (use common sense). If you have a bracket that has 2 A wrestlers, 1 B wrestler, and a couple C & D wrestlers, I don't think you should split it. Putting the A&B wrestlers together in a 3 man round robin wouldn't be a good idea. Instead of 2 and out, why not have a wrestle back for 5th & 6th to earn a ribbon. Give the top 4 medals and or trophy's, and give 5th & 6th place a ribbon. Just a thought. Seems like every time someone posts their opinion on this topic, I tend to see their point.
