This is actually it's third year in existence and it sounds like it hasn't gotten any better... we went when it first started (in the Branson Rec-plex) and it had that creepy feeling of a time-share sales trip from the very beginning (they actually had us register at a Branson tourism center and told us that if we went to look at a time-share property after the tournament that they would give us some kind of cash prize!). The facility was small, the brackets were small, they let kids slide at weigh ins (up to 2 or 3 lbs), it started late, had matches going on 2 mats while 3 or 4 would sit idle, they skipped bouts, and on top of that they actually had an hour lunch break with Yakov Smirnov and a juggler (which was actually entertaining)!!! It was pathetic then and they promised it would be better the next year (which we didn't attend), but the stories out of that were just as bad, and it sounds like this year they didn't have their crap together again! Not to beat a dead horse, but there is no evidence that next year will be any better, or any year following that for that matter!
