Fabuloso--- I would also like to see the tournament seeded. However, I appreciate the flexibility this tournament provides for the little guys at weigh ins. There is no pressure to make a particular weight. If the tournament were seeded, it would have to be completed in advance of weigh ins. At this tournament (it was my first time there)......kids could adjust their weight to the next weight class if they were "over," which I think is an important benefit at this age. Regarding the in-between weights.....I like them, simply because of the sheer number of kids participating at the tournament. My kid wrestled U6, 47 which had 34 participants. There were about the same number of participants at 45. Combining the two would create a 60 man bracket-----fun for the adults to watch.....but tough on a 4-6 year old. Doing so would force the tournament into a two day affair. There were many tight matches throughout the day and, for the most part, I believe the tournament identified the top 6 in each weight class. There may be a few who received a "bad draw" but I believe this was one of the best tournaments I have ever seen due to the competition, organization, and ability to provide a culminating event for our little guys at the end of the year.
