mikev Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Although the tournament was for the most part well ran, the awards were less than adequate. A small plaque for 1st, a decent medal for second, a quarter sized medal for 3rd and ribbons thru 6th place. Come on, these kids wrestled their asses off. The awards should have been the same as high school state. A nice sized medal for 1st thru 8th and an awards presentation. This tournament took in alot of money and they could have easily afforded awards worthy of these kids efforts. And one other item, as the day/night wore on, they shut down the 2nd room and then pulled up half the remaining mats which just drug on the ending forcing alot of us to drive home till well after midnight. Why not leave the mats and wrap things up way earlier so we could all get home on a Sunday night? Not very well thought out on these items. These are the type of things that make parents shy away from tournaments. People want to get in and out in a resonable amount of time (like at MYWAY tournaments). We were at this one for over 14 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
