There were more disqualifications this year than in past years, among the reasons, biting, inappropriate language (cursing) to the mat official, throwing headgear, and other misconduct.

In the eight and under division there was a second place finsh vacated do to disqualification!


This is a coaching and a parent problem. I saw more kids show unsportsmanlike conduct than in years past. The problem, is dad's and coaches not correcting the behavior. They are just let them walk off of the mat, and the coaches or parents blamed the official. Take some responsibility people, take the opportunity to teach proper behavior instead of excusing poor behavior.
