TN AAU State

I will be first to ask.. What did you think?

 

My thoughts:

 

Great day of wrestling. A lot of great wrestler battling it out for TN AAU State.

 

Great job by staff for doing their best to make event positive, even if they weren't given the correct tools.

 

Great job by Refs. I didn't see any matches decided by them vs the wrestler.

 

Great job focusing on the finals but i could have done without the WWE annoucer walking between four mats.

 

The day didn't start out well when coaches and wrestlers couldn't in front door to the event. I was inline for 40 minutes in the mass confusion. I finally got inside and wrestling was annouced to start in 5 minutes.

 

Single entrance to mat area was nuts. Kids had to walk outside mat area in the dirt also. Hard for coaches to leave mat area and make it back to make sure they don't miss any of their kids matches.

 

Mat Natzi. I was with a 8 year old on deck wrestler. 20 second left in current match. I was taking a knee and waiting to get his match going. Classless rude aZZ starts screaming at me and kid to move 40 yard away from mat into green grass area I try to explain we are on deck and tournment will last forever if we don't keep matches going. Starts telling me i know nothing about running a tournment and i need to leave area. I know running a tourney is stressfull but you need to check your azz at the door!

 

Hospitally room. Couldn't tell you since i couldn't leave mat area and make it back in less they 10-15 minutes. They were nice to Refs and let them go short route on other side of arena. Coaches didn't have such luck.

Startup at 8:00am and not leaving until Midnights is nuts. Way to long of a day!
