Fact Check: original post has shared false and misleading information. All 10 of the top 10 ranked wrestlers are in the bracket that places 8. Final decision: you are wrong!

the kid looks good but he has been beat 26 times. the kid is human.

Just curious, I hope to be moving there next year, is there a good reason why they use split mats instead of obtaining more mats to run the tournament? I have a Tot (6 year old, AAU terminology) that has wrestled in North Carolina, West Virginia, PA, Ohio, South Carolina and Virginia and he has had a full mat everywhere we went. I could not imagine my 11 year old or even 9 year old wrestling on somewhere between 18 and 20 feet. Just seems there would be more breaks in action than wrestling. Just looking for some learning before I get there. I have over 18 years of time on or around the mat and the split mat thing is usually reserved for rookie events and small gyms. You guys were in a civic arena, please shoot me some thoughts on why for my own learning of what to expect when I get there. Thanks

Be thankful that the sport is continuing to grow. Use a venue that holds 10 mats and enjoy the day. Your kids will grow up quickly and the youth wrestling will be over and you will miss watching your kids compete in these type of events. Enjoy the day, it only happens once a year. Good luck to all the wrestlers and look forward to moving out there next year to make it 903??? competing next year.
