Split format discussion- I asked one the men organizing the district 1 tourney several weeks ago, he will remain nameless as I can't name names on this forum, about running subs and districts as a split format and was told it was too hard for on the director to plan. Split formats had no advantage over the regular format and less flexiblity for the director to run. He really dressed me down for asking. It appears that if District 1 wants a split format it will be only after a motion for a split format at the next meeting. This same gentlemen insinuated in the halls that those who were unhappy with how this tourney was running could easily be removed from this tourney and for next week. He appeared to like power too much for my taste.

I did fail to point out that the awards room at the District 1 Tourney was run very well. They had enough staff, something many tourneys don't have, did their jobs quickly and efficiently, were very patient with wrestlers and people that had questions when I was present.

The hospitality room was great. Good food and nice staff. Don't know whose little girl that was that helped behind the tables in the afternoon. I could tell manners and expectations for her behavior were valued very highly in her family.
