Why so snarky? You're clearly upset. If it bothers you that much leave the sport. Kids are not softer, the sport is still tough. It seems like it's one again, it's the adults that are upset about things more than the kids are.

Region 1 scrambling to make a two-day region tournament on a Wednesday, that started that Thursday, was pretty bad. Especially for the parents that were driving from multiple hours away to make a 4 o'clock weigh-in.

Guys, I think I should just take over and run things. State duals would be divided into 5 classifications: Private School would keep their current split- however 8 teams would qualify for each division. Public School would be split into 3 divisions: A for schools under 800 students, AA for schools between 801 and 1499 students, and AAA for schools with 1500+ enrollment (As I slowly takeover power in TSSAA this 3 division split system will become uniform for ALL sports- no more teams competing in 5A football and 1A wrestling- this kills me personally). Each of these divisions will have 16 teams qualify for state duals. This system will produce more state champions, and more teams qualifying than it ever has before. Why do we need need 64 total teams at state duals? Because I need to make more money, of course! Now you wrestling purists- don't get your panties in a wad just yet. For individuals- There will be only 1 "real" state champion (real is your word choice - not mine). HOWEVER- there will now be 16 regions spread across the state, and the top 4 from each region will qualify for a 64 man tournament (I also believe 64 state qualifiers per weight class is more than we have ever had before- so look at me go on pushing out that 'state qualifier' patch to put on little Johnny's new letterman's jacket). With this 64 man bracket- I get to bring back my 3 day tournament- as me maximizing my profits in ticket sales is all I really care about after all. But, with 16 regions spread out across the state, we should be able to easily divide everyone up logistically and eliminate parents taking 2 hour drives for regions or sectionals. Now bear with me as I sit and come up with a plan for the girls- because their stuff is more jacked up than the boys as it sits currently.
