I ATTENDED THE KNIGHTS CLASSIC YOUTH AT SUSSEX CENTRAL THIS PAST WEEKEND(01/12/08) IT WAS THE MOST UNORGANIZED TOURN I AND MY TEAM HAVE EVER ATTENDED. THEY TRIED A COMPUTOR SYSTEM FOR BRACKETS AND IT FAILED 1 HOUR BEFORE TOURNEMENT STARTED . tHE PEOPLE RUNNING THE TOURN COULD HAVE HAND WRITTEN THE BRACKETS BUT NO, THEY DECIDED TO CALL OUT EACH WRESTLER ONE BY ONE WHICH LEAD TO A VERY STRESSFULL DAY FOR EVERYON. THEY LEFT AMESS OF WRESTLERS OFF THE BRACKETS COMPLETELY AND WHEN WRESLERS WENT TO ASK WHEN THEY WOULD WRESLTE THEY WERE TOLD THEY HAD A BYE. AFTER BEING THERE ALLD AY AT 4:00 i FINALLY FOUNF OUT MY SON WAS LEFT OFF OF THE BRACKET THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THEY JUST OFFERD MONEY BACK. BUT WE CAME TO WRESLTE THEN THEY WERE ASKLED TO LET MY SONE CHALLENG 1ST AND SECOND PLACE WRESTLERS THEY FINALLY AGREED BUT NEVER TURNED OUT RESULTS. IF THIS IS HOW DELAWARE TOURNEMENT SARE GOING TO BE RUN WE WILL STAY IN MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA.I AM AMONG MANY OTHERS WITH DISCUST ABOUT THAT TOURNEMENT

I was also disappointed at this tournament. We waited until 1:30 to be told there was only one other boy in my son's weight-class. The reason we drove an hour to attend was that the tourney was double elimination. Had I known, I would have asked to bump my son to the next class so he could wrestle more. I appreciate all those who worked to make the tourney happen but I hope all future events will note that posting brackets is how mistakes get corrected.

Same complaint here. My son’s matches were around 11:00, 2:00 & 5:15. There were only 6 kids in the bracket. And to much disappointment my son and his teammate were matched in the 2 round. How hard is it to separate teammates in the bracket? The team wrestles together all season. I don’t need to drive an hour & spend $22 to watch teammates wrestle early in the bracket. They were the only 2 on the same team in the division/weight class. Crazy....

We stopped going to this tournament three years ago when they had the
same problems. They insist on using the computer program, but it
doesn't seem they know how to run it. Three years ago they didn't
program the divisions into the computer. So when the tournament was
about to start they had 90 pound 9 year olds wrestling 90 pound 14 year
olds. They had to stop the tourament and redo the brackets. Last year I
heard was just long and bad. So it doesn't sound like we missed
anything this year. Many of the local tournaments have turned to crap.

THEY SHOULD GIVE IT UP . IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE ONLY IN IT TO COLLECT MONEY. THEY EVEN SHUT DOWN THE CONSSESIONS EARLY TWO HOURS EARLY. GIVE IT UP GUYS NO MORE TOURNAMENTS IT IS GETTING PRETTY CRAZY AND YOU ARE LIVING UP TO THE TERM (LOWER SLOWER DELAWARE)
