State...

Can we talk about how poorly the state tournament is being run? We don't know bout numbers, we can't check track wrestling to see who is coming up, we don't know the time in the match, the break for D1 they said was for technical issues but it was because THEY couldn't print the bout sheets, walking in-between the mats to obstruct the view, making the kids stand next to their opponent. This isn't middle school. Is it possible to change who runs this tournament?

Looks like they've got their sh*t together today... we can hope everything goes well!
 
Wtf was that? That was the parade of champions.. that was awful. Boring, absolutely no entertainment value.

My favorite part was when they let 100s of wrestlers walk across the freshly cleaned mats in their street shoes,(and then finalists, in wrestling shoes), then left the newly installed dirt roads on the mats for the kids to wrestle on.

It was horrible not even printed out brackets for the champs. Medals were given to the kids before they stepped on the podium the venue sucked shame on AIA for running it like that it seemed like it was the first tournament they ever ran. Bring it back to Prescott

Completely unacceptable. How long will we put up with the AIA treating us poorly? From three weigh ins for d1--3, to 0830-1000 pm on friday with all kinds of down time, no clocks, only walk this way and not that way, the idiot on the microphone yelling at the kids and coaches like Cattle year after year and on and on and on.

I agree with you 100% the guy was yelling and getting mad because he was yelling had track been up and running there would be no new for hand written bout sheets or yelling at kids and coaches
