CookieMonster99 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I just went through the registration process. After completing the registration, I realized there was not any question about separation criteria. Anyone else notice this? Or did I just miss it somewhere?

I will be working track at the event, but I wanted to talk to the kids I am coaching at Pike about going to this event. We have some young kids that have never wrestled, so I might need to caution them, but then again any time on the mat is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on your definition of crazy... but there is wrestling going on in multiple cafeterias. Other than that, it is pretty well organized and each weight class is on an assigned mat for pretty much the entire tournament. Thor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big tournaments like that need to split those weights over a few mats so that you don't hit wait times at the end of the day. I hate to see kids wrestling their 4 toughest matches within minutes of each other. Siburcrist, Faithcoach and Coach Beezy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Beezy Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 If I am not mistaken last year my son wrestled on the same mat all day. We were there at 8:00am and finished at 4:00pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to see kids wrestling their 4 toughest matches within minutes of each other. I know last year my son wrestled all day on two mats. Around 45 kids in his weight class. He was wrestling like every 20 minutes it seemed like. The last few round we did have wait times, and that was a bummer. It would have been nice to have a bit more time in between matches. I think he was the only weight class on those 2 mats, since it was such a big bracket. If there was another weight or 2 in there it would help with the wait times, but then the tournament would take longer. Over-all it runs faster than the good ole days in the cattle barn at the state fairgrounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have three weights on three separate mats you could run those weights, just on those three mats and spread it out. That will give the kids a little more buffer on wait times and even some extra rest towards the end. It will still run the same amount of time.

The only thing that I have heard is that only USA events will count toward the seeding, and that it is taking into account several years of information. I would consider myself far from an expert on how this seeding will look though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an email for our section newsletter, it stated that only USA/ISWA events would be used for the rankings. So I guess any USA/ISWA event, but things like Nuway, Hyway, etc would not count toward the rankings. Coach Beezy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silence Dogood Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Registration closed last night, but the number registered has gone up this morning. Did a "good wrestler" and his dad offer to help with tournament setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
