My boys have done the tournament for 2 years in a row. While, I think it is over priced for the entry fee and concessions and the cost to coach, I have gotten over that. The thing that really got me was the parking. Paying $7 to go to weigh-ins on Friday night was crazy. We were in there a total of 18 minutes, and that was for me to weigh-in 3 boys and to get my coaching stuff. I don't mind paying the $$ when we are going to be there all day, but for 18 min, that is just not right.

Then on Friday, it took me 25 minutes from when I turned on to 12th Street to the time I got into the parking lot. Of course, there was only 1 guy working and he didn't seem to be in much of a hurry to get people in. Luckily, I was able to let my boys off (they are old enough now) and have them walk in to start getting ready while I waited in line to park. I don't know what it was like on Saturday, but Friday was a mess.

The boys like the tournament and that is great. Just some of these logistical things really get under my collar.
