I don't believe in coddling kids either and I sometimes think we have become too soft in some areas but now you are just being an arse to get a rise out of people (it worked).
Guilty as charged. I did go to extremes to prove my point. The more I think of it though, instead of placing 8, maybe there should be a hardluck tourney. Kids that need it would get extra matches. I did notice that most of the kids wrestling for 5th-8th were upperclassmen. I know there are two, three, or even more points of view, but I can not understand how we place lower than 4th. Use the Hardluck for the kids that need extra mat time. There has to be a cut off, I personally think 4th is that cut off.
