Hopefully they figure something better out for next.

Quote from khase on February 19, 2023, 10:04 pmThe mat layout was not good, I agree. I have been thinking about this the past couple days on what could be done differently. The open alley where people always stood was the worst. I think if you started weigh-ins at 8, started wrestling at 9, and dropped the number of mats back down, we could still be out of there at a decent time. A 4:30 Semi-final and and 3:30 final start is not great for a person that wants to come down and watch. Most people won't use PTO to come to watch for fun without having a close family connection to the athletes. Granted, it was nice to get home at a decent time Friday night.

Quote from WellArmed on February 25, 2023, 12:18 amFrom what I was told, the mat layout will be better next year. Something like 3- "pods" of 4 mats in a square.
One for A, one for B and one for girls. And the team camp area will be set up differently to allow for the "pod" style set up.Going in, they knew it was gonna be an experiment as far as mats go.
