ontherise219 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) I must be in the minority but never had a bad experience with any of the merrillville workers. Were those "Rich East Rockets" wrestling mats? What's up with that??They said Paul chandler had the connection at Rich East. Also Paul chandler did a great job for EC.

TripleB Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Evansville ran semis out of whack also. It was a headache since I was updating Twitter feed w SQs, I assume this was a trackwrestling issue w mat assignments of weight classes ontherise219 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuneFan Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I still say it sucks having 4 mats for the semis. At state they are run on 2 mats making it possible to watch 2 good matches at same weight class at same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCard Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) You guys really have no clue about the ADs at Merrillville. Rat, you of all people so familiar with Region wrestling should know the ties she has to wrestling. Both are huge fans of wrestling. You guys all complain about how rude they are but after running a tournament for over 38 years, you deal with more than enough of rude inconsiderate fans wanting everything their way and not being reasonable. We as a wrestling community probably have some of the most unique, I will keep it clean, coaches. The thing that gets me is that most of the people that complain have never ran a major event and don't realize the amount of effort it takes to pull it off. So let's stick to the topic and give the pros and cons of our new venue and keep the personal attacks out of the posts. I don't think it's a bad thing to run 4 mats for the Semis, an easy fix to me would be to run 4 mats together though. Example, 106/113, wait til the completion, then go to your next two weights 120/126, and so on. I think that is a reasonable compromise and still moves tournament at a good pace.

headlock83 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I have never said an unkind word about the woman that ran the show at Merrilville. In my opinion she did it the right way. No personal attacks from me. Always respected what she did for wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TripleB Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 South has always ran 4 mats I think. But can we get them all to clean up the ticket and semi rd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCard Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Clarification for everybody, was not saying headlock83 said anything at all negative or took any shots at anyone. Sounded like he actually prefers the Merrillville site. Sorry for any misunderstandings. Just defending a couple of individuals that I feel have always taken a lot of heat on this board. tangarrray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
