The scenes of a wrestling tournament can be chaotic.
Wrestling mats upon mats are laid out expansively throughout a large arena or even a wide-open convention center. Hundreds, maybe thousands of wrestlers compete at different time slots on an ever-changing schedule. The soundtrack of the day is usually constant whistles and mumbling over a PA speaker.
But not in 2021.
Not during the coronavirus.
In early November, Cowboy wrestling coach John Smith announced the wrestling regulations for this condensed season. No more Southern Scuffle in Chattanooga. The UCO Open in Edmond was also scratched. Even the highly-competitive Reno Tournament of Champions never occurred.
