Hi guys, one of the benefits that I have seen after being in Nebraska,Iowa and California since leaving Kansas has been comparing how youth tournaments are ran.

Kansas by far has the most dedicated state directors,staff, better wrestlers and families but we could use some of the tournament organization techniques used in Nebraska specifically. They do the staggered split times with age groups--and it goes really well, the research behind it has it pretty much bracketed as far as time needed for each division and time spent waiting is pretty nill

Here in Cali,,it is a nightmare, officals are unpaid and there is a free for all attitude, Iowa & CA they bullpen the kids and run the brackets all the way through.

I think we should appreciate the hard work that goes in to it and just adjust as much as possible,,i am sure district directors are more than open for any input,,we appreciate their hard work
