I will second this above comment on the last weekends GRR (open and duals). The new venue was even better than years past and the tournament was well run for the most part and the level of competition was great !!!!!

warsawwrestling Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Bads: Should have spaced out gold, silver and so on brackets to use both sides of the gym. (biggest issue, would have solved 3 of the bads) More entry points in gym at beginning of the day. (day 1 was worse than day 2) but we came closer to start time because of a bye first round. Seating was a little hard to find, only about 6-8 chairs per side during team day 1 for wrestlers and coaches. Couldn't really use the out of bounce rule because of limited mat space. Goods: Great venue Lots of talented wrestlers Lots of matches Officials for the most part were pretty good (I only got yelled at once, Indiana official) Moved pretty well, until the end of day 2 we were having matches every 10-15 minutes for the last 3 matches Allowed coolers Polite staff running tournament and venue staff. Gym wasn't 125 degrees! Plenty of restrooms and a bunch of other little things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
