Mike,
This year it is not pool formatted. I liked the format, but I ended up spending most of the day getting matches coordinated. Another problem was when we had uneven pools. It threw team points off. Furthermore, if we had all ten teams bring full teams, we may not get the wrestling over until April.

I tried to add teams for this year, and we did add one. Last year we had a lot of teams show interest, but I think it was due to tournaments getting canceled by the ice storm.

My hope is to build a great tournament. Our facilities are too nice not to have one of Kansas' best tournaments, but it's tough to get people interested. I'd love to have teams from all over the midwest come. To do so, we'll have to change the date so that it's earlier in the season. If anyone has suggestions or would be interested, please e-mail me.

In the future I'd like to have a tournament set up similar to the Colby Duals. They do a tremendous job. If we could get some Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas teams to come it could be a premier event.
