I think some of the fans will be missing something, but the competitors will be gaining a great deal. Wiegh-ins which will take 45 minutes instead of 2 hours, room to warm-up or even lay down, not walking through trash from over flowing dumpsters on the lower level are all things the competitors will be "missing out on". I wrestled in the 3-2-1A state tourney at Hays and have been to the 4A-5A-6A tournament as a coach for 8 years, and Hays is by far a more competitor friendly environment. I think that once the adjustment is made you will find the 4a tournament even more exciting than before, since everyone in the gym will be focused on one tournament, and in the finals will be focused on one mat. There are definitely positives and negatives to the change, but most of the positives are for the competitors and most of the negatives are for the fans. I for one applaud the decision, even if I am still going to be in Wichita.
