One suggestion after using this system for our tournament...don't put blank bout sheets on the tables "just in case"...

Also, during the table worker meeting make sure that the table workers are not changing anything with the brackets. We had one table change the bracket around due to a kid not showing for the match. Even though it made sense at the table, when it came back to the computer, it made things difficult.

This was our first year using track wrestling and although I still have a lot to learn and mistakes were made, it should be better next year. I would ask everybody to be patient with this system as it is a great tool and makes running tournaments so much easier! The kinks will get worked out!

I also see a time when we don't sign up for a weight class, only sign up your age group beforehand. When you weigh in you are put into a bracket in the computer. There will still be those who will cut weight but no more 6 and under parents wondering if their kid can eat dinner the night before weigh ins.
