Here is a screenshot of the number of competitors per weight class.

I stand by my opinion. I'm having a hard time seeing the logic of this whole tournament. Teams backed out and that stinks but I'm pretty sure the officials and the 3 bus drivers would have been very glad to have a free day on Saturday during the holidays. It is a very simple process to cancel hotel reservations if they were already made. Like I said they did not fill a 16 man bracket. I've seen 64 man brackets run in two days other places but never a normal 16.

It absolutely should have been a one day tournament. Sat around all morning and still finished day one at 3! What a waste! How do you go ahead and keep it a 2 day tournament when you're not even filling a 16 man bracket on any of the weights? This is not how you grow the sport! Woodford seriously just forced a 2 day gate charge and drive for teams for absolutely no reason.
