We don't but if it's going to be reworked or amended that is how it should read. I am still in favor of leaving it alone and doing what is already within the rules. More rules in many cases only serve to further complicate matters. I am of a firm belief that when that particular section of the rules was written it had no intent of a bracket ever being reworked after seeding. BUT, it has now come to mean that anytime the number of wrestlers falls below 5 the bracket has to be rebracketed. SOOOOO, I say as some of you have said, let Trackwrestling rebracket all the brackets when that kid who weighed in, but for whatever reason, doesn't show for his first match of the day! That should only set the start of the tournament back about an hour at the least?
When you use trackwrestling it takes very little time to rebracket. The delays are usually because of inadequate printer capabilities. This rule is needed to make a gray area into a black and white one. It is clear that a majority of the members agree that when there are 5 or fewer wrestlers a round robin bracket should ALWAYS be used!
Sport0, if you haven't run a tournament with trackwrestling you have no business casting stones at it. It is a change that is favorable and a great improvement to the sport.
