Westchester State Womens Wrestling???? Needy???? Use the money to create a new D1 opportunity or to save a D1 school!!! Without USA wrestling there would be NO college wrestling! USA offers bigger and tougher brackets in all cases across the board. It is just common sense, you combine two years into an age group it will be tougher than just one.

Ideas to help Brute.

1. NEVER have it the same weekend as USA Nationals.

2. Get rid of the ALL AMERICAN theme until you reach 16 in every bracket. Are you really an ALL AMERICAN if you won one match or zero matches?

2. Keep the entry fee at $45 all the way up until midnight the night before. Charge $75 for walk ups and weight changes.

3. Give a free pass for every five wrestlers you enter under a team. Charge $50 for extra passes and $25 more for every coach who WANTS a jacket.

4. Give a bracket to the Champion. Kids LOVE brackets.

5. Finish the Kids on Saturday and have only a parade for kids. HS Wrestlers do NOT want a parade.

6. Contract for some wrestling only parking.

7. Partner up with some hotels for free rooms for organizers and volunteers. Block the rooms for wrestlers at give them a three night rate.

8. Partner up with Southwest Airlines to get more out of staters flying in.

9. Have they explored all of the options to gain funding from the tourism groups?

10. More mats! They could have put down two or three more.

11. Tell the floor security to give it a rest! Coaches want to watch matches and they are not going to keep going up and down the ramp they have. Coaches paid $60 to $90 for a pass and do NOT want to hear "Move to the edge!" all day long. It is annoying. This was the BEST crowd situation I have EVER seen at a "National" tournament. Quit harassing the coaches! They are volunteers who PAID!
