we have wrestled in the classic ever since it used to be held downtown in the century II civic center. even though it is now held in a horse barn we have never gotten ringworm or any stomach sickness from wrestling there, have noticed the smell but not any worse than the smell of those knee pads, and have always had great competition there. will always wrestle in it even with traveling 6 hours to get there, way over priced food ant the gate admissions are fairly priced compared to other tournaments that you mention.
