Great tourney, well ran and on time. We have gone for the last 4 years. Other wrestlers from our Kansas club have also attended after we went the first time and encouraged them to try it. I have never felt my son was more at risk for injury there than other tourneys, he got his butt kicked a few times by great competition, that he was at risk for. I didn't notice mats that were any older than any other. Never had a skin problem from wrestling there. On the other side of the coin, he did develop a health problem after wrestling at the State Tourney last year. Different story.

We aren't going this year, just ends too late at night for a cheapskate like me. Don't want to spend another night in a hotel. I want to drive home and it's a long drive if your match ends at 9 or 10 o'clock. If the tournament directors ever take out the dinner break and long introductions stuff we will be back that year.
