I think we all love to see our kids win. I try and tell my boys you have to learn from a lose just like you do a win. I agree with splitting the brackets up A and B C and D if you can. I tell my boys that all these tournaments are practice for subdistricts, districts , and hopefully state. The only problem i can see with splitting them up is when you do seed them in sub's how do you seed the kids say if a A or B wrestler has a 25-10 record then you have a C or D wrestler with a 30-5 record would it be fair for the A or B wrestler to be seeded lower than the C or D wrestler that some how becaame a A or B wrestler right before subdistricts? My boys always go for first place just like iam sure everyone elses kids do and they know you have to beat everyone to get that but when you have maybe the two best on the same side of the bracket in sub's because the C or D wrestler jumped in the spot of the A wrestler because of his or her's better record is that fair?
