Clubs registering members at a tournament through TrackWrestling should be diligent and double-check your entries before submitting them.  When an unregistered club attempts to enter wrestlers, TW has a feature which attempts to "guess" what club they are from.  This feature is not always accurate, and it can be difficult to correct if you don't catch it the first time.  TW is working to correct this, but in the meantime you should exercise caution.  (1/6/12)
