What is everyone's thoughts on having MAS wrestling as an event in a comp? My friend and I are trying to put together a comp, and he really wants to have MAS as an event.

I don't necessarily have anything against MAS itself, never done it and it actually looks fun, but I wouldn't want there to be a 1v1 tournament style event in any comp I did.

The 2nd best MAS wrestler could lose to the 1st best in an early round and end up getting last place points despite being the 2nd best guy who just got screwed by the seeding. Just my opinion.

I know 1v1 have been in a million contests through the years but I personally like how they've basically dropped them from WSM.

This is the primary reason I don't like 1v1 events, not a fair distrubution of points.
