Came down to the GWAL tourney to watch the finals.

First off, I thought the quality of finals matches were down this year.

Second, in a metro of over 1 million people, what is it going to take to find some quality officiating down there?

Case in point - the 189 lb. match between BC and SE. At the end of the second period, BC's wrestler takes SE's wrestler down with 20 seconds left. 2 pts are awarded and blood time begins for SE. After cleaning him up, the officials start them back on their feet. This shouldn't have happened and I think I know why the coaches didn't say anything.

SE was outclassed and from a BC perspective, keep mum and we'll get another takedown, closing in the 15 pt. tech fall. SE, to hopefully end the match sooner. Good kid, just outmanned.

But it went beyond the two officials on the mat, the score keeper, and everyone else.
