What makes you think that the district tourneys are too long? Many times when a tournament last for long periods of time it is becuase: 1. the site hosting the tournament doesn't have enough space for enough mats? 8 mats is not enough for a district tournament. 2. The tournament is poorly run, this includes multiple calls for scratches, unruley coaches and parents who cause long arguemtns over officals calls, not starting on time, ect. ... While im on the subject I would like to mention what a wonderful job the Geary7 County Wrestling club did in hosting the district 3 tournament. It was ran very smoothly and I beleive most of it was over by 5:00. I don't believe cutting age classes is a great idea at all and I think I speak for everyone in my club when I say this. IF you can't handle a whole day of wrestling then perhaps your loyalties should be in another sport that is not as time consuming
