  In all honesty, I love the idea. I just finished putting bout numbers for in for 103. We could do it two ways... A true 32-man bracket OR, the way I used, keep to your quarter according to yuor OCC division in order to let the wrestlers decide who is 1st, 2nd and 3rd team for each division. Then, for the semis and finals, it becomes an absolute free for all!!! (Each semifinalist is an OCC champ.) Actually, doing this second way would guarantee 2 wrestlers from each division placing in the top 8, and thus, not a TRUE representation of placement in the OVERALL OCC. However, it would eleviate trying to vote it out in a room somewhere.

  Feelers are being put out. But I will say this... there are some excellent points against it.
  
  One thing that might be better is to start with an 8-man tournament and then go from there. There is (or maybe better stated, there is made out to be) - as I'm learning - SO much more than rolling 6 to 8 mats on the floor and letting the kids wrestle. Among other things, the almighty dollar is a concern, like it or not.
  
  Can it happen??? Yes.
  Will it happen??? Not sure.

  I like the 8 man league championship bracket then take the top 3 in each league for the conference championship the next day. How could this not make money? I think it would create local interest and the Dispatch MIGHT even cover it. That big OVAC Tourney gets great press in the Valley I can't imagine why a big OCC Tourney couldn't be even bigger in this market.

  Hey, Cruiser, Wadsworth, Solon wherever you guys are road tripping to - make sure you let us know. I know one wrestler who won't want to miss any of them!
