I have been hearing that it's likely the state dual team tournament will be dropped. I personally would like to see it kept, maybe with some modifications. How about having the A & B Dual tournament at a combined location (or seperately,whatever) the Sunday after the individual tournament is over. My reasoning is that more fans would stay an extra weekend day to see the duals, than would take an extra weekday off of work to go see the duals (as it is now). I would like to know how others feel about the dual tournament, and any ideas to keep it. If we in the wrestling community want to keep the state dual tourney, we had better act now. Talk to your coaches,ADs, Supts, and the SDHSAA.  |

A few things I don't like about it;
1. A top wrestler is taking the chance of getting hurt and not placing in the individual tournament.
2. Three matches the day before the idividual tournament has to effect the wrestler when going against someone fresh that is not in the dual tourney.
3. I am not real sure what it proves. The results are never very different than the individual tourneys team placings.
4. It's on a Thursday for crying-out-loud!
5. Who wants to see Greg Roach manicure his hair and generally show-off for three straight days? NOT ME!

I agree with you exactly on the Dual Tourney points.
But, with the Greg Roach thing...... he isn't really showing off, it's more like he is auditioning for a broadway show.
The over-dramatic roll of the hands on a reversal with one leg in the air for effect.
The blowing of the whistle so loud it would wake the dead.
The HAIR
The emotional and and emphatic slamming of the hand on the mat to call a pin, not just any pin HIS pin, because IT IS all about him, ya know.
And to make it worse, this years A's are televised....TELEVISED!!! Oh God the humanity!!!
I am betting he has a professional make-up artist work on him before Finals.....

Here is something that would make the dual tourney draw a huge crowd. Have the dual tourney a week later and make it a combined event. Have the region champion from each division A AND B and make it a combined championship. Everybody is always debating A vs B so here is a way to make everyone happy.

There are good things and bad things about it....
We were about the last state to do it....that's bad
small crowds... that's bad
match ups for individual wrestlers about to face each other in the individual tourney... that's bad
Imagine the number of matches those officials do in a three day period, can they stay sharp for three days? I couldn't!... that's bad
still trying to think of good things about it...... oh ya... i forgot, comedy relief from watching Roach make an @$$ out of himself....

I think they should have the duel tourney go for two days. Start the individual tourney on Thursday along with the duels. This way everyone has to make weight on thursday. It isn't fair for the rest of the tourney to get an extra lb.

I am not sure about the separate weekend thing. For one, on the SDHSAA's gripes is cost. If they have to get a facility for another weekend, that's more $$ going out. They'd still make money that weekend, but the way they have it, they already have the facilty on Thursday for setup, workouts, etc.
