Believe it or not I have been to a number of kids tournaments this year that officials and the tourney directors have run people off the mat. I agree with your point though. I just wanted to let you know that in eastern ks the tournaments I have been to the numbers on the side of the mat have lowered. People listen to the officials while out there the people know the ref is the authority out there. The officials can run kids and parents off the mats if needed. I know i do.
