i feel that it should be mandatory to post results, it would help track the novice division, and would aid in seeding at ALL tournaments including subs.
i also think that most clubs/parents have a good idea of who the best wrestlers in brackets are. most try to seed as best they can, but with a little extra work and time the results could be posted by everyone.
in my experience when clubs hand out medals at the tables, the end results don't get recorded, on trackwrestling or other wise. BUT since people complain about every little thing at tournaments, clubs try to appease the griping parents and hand out medals before the brackets are recorded properly.
