I don't see a need to release brackets, but at least put the entrants. Almost every major tournament will release entrants. Tulsa, Liberty, USA National Events. As far as brackets go, as a team director it is nice so that we can avoid having kids on the same side of the bracket. Releasing these ahead of time will reduce this, and yes it has happened and I have had tourney directors say, I wish we could have changed this earlier, but then they have to rush to change it. Or the case in which only 1 kid is in a bracket, he might not want to travel, pay for a hotel and waste time for nobody to wrestle. If the big tournaments aren't afraid to release information why should any tournament be afraid to, just stick to your guns about people not changing weights if it is that big of a problem.
