Thanks, Joe.  I'll do that.  Maybe they have a scoring program, too.

Does anyone know if tournaments are restricted to using the brackets in the rule book?  I don't like the ones available for an 8-team individual tournament.  Your best wrestlers only get three matches on the day and your weakest wrestlers, who may need the experience more, are 2 losses and out.  So I designed my own bracket.  Basically, I split the two halves of a regular 8 man bracket into two pools.  Seeded wrestlers stay in the same palce as the normal bracket so the top 2 seeds are in different pools.  The first three rounds are round-robin within your pool.  Then, I place the top two in each pool in the championship bracket and the bottom two of each pool in a consolation bracket (#1 in pool A meets #2 in pool B and vice versa) and let them wrestle two more rounds to determine placements.  Now, I'm finishing up software to run the bracket.

Advantages of this bracket:  Everyone gets 5 matches, but its still an individual tournament rather than team duals.  This gives schools a alternative to the super dual formats.

Disadvantages:  I couldn't find this bracket anywhere in existing software, so I had to decide scoring and tie-breaker rules for the pools.  I'm building the final brackets manually after the third round because I didn't want to program all of the tie-breaker criteria.  I also place any forfeits automatically starting with the lowest seed and progressing upward.  This guarantees the brackets will be balanced, but it always places forfeits in the bracket with the #1 seed first.

I'd like to try this bracket for our invitational, but one of our assistant coaches asked if it needed to be approved by the IHSAA before we use it.  Anyone know if I need to contact Bobby Cox?

Adams Central and Bellmont used to consider 2000 an average crowd.  There was one match at Bellmont when they had all four bleachers upstairs open as well as the two sides downstairs.  I believe there were 3000+ plus for that dual.  Unfortuneately, I don't remember the year.  Late 1970's or early 1980's, I think
