I will say first and foremost it does not matter who is in your bracket. With that said it is fun to see who is in your bracket, but I'm not sure knowing a week in advance is too terribly important.

I know there are lots of parents out there that love the competition and want to see tough brackets. I remember alot of dad's got together one year and had a super-bracket. 1st and 2nd place match was a rematch of State finals the year before, 3rd and 4th was a rematch of the State finals the year before, and 5th and 6th was a rematch of the State finals the year before. Six State Finalists were in the medal matches, an Awesome bracket. BUT, this is not the norm. There are alot more parents that want to run from competition and will say their kid was entered incorrectly and want to change weights. HUGE HEADACHE for Tournamnet Directors.

I understand both sides, but as I have heard a good friend say many times. "It is what it is."
