No need for apologies Red. Most of us know that great efforts were made to accomodate all the wrestlers walking up to enter. There was plenty of notice on this very forum for everyone to pre-register.

There are growing pains with anything like using a new program, was it frustrating?sure was! But heck we were there to wrestle, I think each of my boys got in at least 6 matches and had an absolutely fantastic time in the condensed greco side of things

Regarding Freestyle and Greco. The state is making the right strides to get our schedule in line to get national teams done earlier etc and coincide with our neighboring states. Now we have to coordinate the back end, get our kids division to be just a kids division, eliminate high school aged kids wrestling in our state kids tourney, bring in the 6 and under if needed.

Start freestyle/greco during that time period. Get coaches up to date on teaching olympic style skills, get clincs for wrestlers, get tournament coordinators, pairers, and officials trained.

I saw a lot of people wanting to get their first freestyle and greco matches in just one week before the state tournament, to me that is more of a concern than having to endure wrestling all day in the gym.
