I know all of the people at Oberlin that will be in charge of running the tournament. They are very competent and will run a very good tournament. But I do have concern with seating and the possibility of only two mats. The last time we attended a Regional Tournament on two mats was Phillipsburg 2003. Our 189 lb wrestler stepped off the mat at 12:03 am , Saturday morning after wrestling all afternoon Friday. In my opinion that is not in the best interested of the WRESTLER.

So I do not think that anyone is whining or complaining. I think that they have legitimate concerns. Oberlin has hosted the regional tournament about every 5 yrs. But if we want to advance the sport the KSHSAA should require 3 mats all in the same gym and a minimum seating capacity of 2,000.
