Why does this not surprise me?? A little insight to the Garden City tournament and how it went. Arrive at the gym at 8:00 or their abouts on Saturday morning after a Friday night weigh in to try to find out our match # and when we are wrestling. 8 Man bracket with a couple of byes and we have one of those so are first bout is # 29. Warm up till 9:00 or their abouts tournament ready to start. NOT !!!! After a 1:00 hour delay of the tournament it starts at 10:00 My sons bracket now has 4 kids RR right. NOT !!!4-kids and they leave them in an 8 man. I start thinking why the delay in the tounament if they aren't going to rework the brackets. OK getting close to 12:00 and we are getting close to my sons match. NOT !!! WHAT A LUNCH BREAK !!!! 12:30 back wrestling and getting close the tables are going SLOW !! After match 29 the next match is 61 IT'S 3:30 and were ready to wrestle that match . It's over lets go home. The medals are to be picked up in the gym???? OK After sending my son in to get his medal and waiting for a good 15-20 minutes a decide to go in the gym myself and see what the hold up is. OH MY GOD WHAT A DISASTER !!!!!! Brackets everywhere kids everywhere and no organization. I go back outside and make some calls to kill some time be cool with the situation. After another 10 minutes or so back in the gym still same thing. I AM UPSET and tell one of the workers to mail the medal. She get another medal out of another bag and gives us a second place medal and were on our way.
It's only 4:30 by now How late did the people that had match 80 or so have to stay??????
