Do you have a remote weigh in site at Fredonia on Friday? I have two that want to wrestle only freestyle. Can we weigh in Friday night or just Saturday?

The freestyle only weighin question has been answered earlier in this thread. On site only Saturday 11a-12p.

THE GOAL IS TO START WRESTLING AT 8:00 A.M.

Satellite Weigh-in locations

All Satellite weigh-ins will be from 6:00 to 7:30 P.M.

Will there be a satellite weigh-in in Towanda?

You would have to drop the satellite.

If you are the only wrestler entered in your weight after remotely weighing in do you still have to drive to Towanda?

Hays will hold a Satelite weigh-in at Gross Coliseum Gate 2 (follow the signs)friday night 6pm-7:30pm.

Contact me with any questions

The remote weigh deal is a little weird. It is supposed to eliminate having to spend the night at the tournament location. If you weigh in at 7:30 pm I guess it lets you leave later to drive to the Wichita area. It does not accomodate allowing you to leave the next morning. If you are going to be in Towanda at 8am ready to wrestle you would have to get up REALLY early in the morning to make it from anywhere in any District other than 2 or 3. If you are wrestling freestyle only the remote weigh is not an option so you still have to be on-site Saturday morning. I am just trying to figure out the logic. Bottom line it really does NOT alleviate an overnight stay or help out Freestyle only wrestlers.

I mistyped the Satellite weigh-in locations.

All is correct except Hays:

Satellite Weigh in will be in Hays at Gross Memorial Coliseum, Gate 2 (follow the signs) from 6pm-7pm.

I agree with you on this. I think it might help encourage a few more entries if the tournament was started at a time that more reasonably allows wrestlers from other areas of the state to drive to the tournament location the day of the tournament and still be able to wrestle both greco and freestyle.

I do like having the later freestyle only weigh-in time. You could reasonably drive up from the KC area to Towanda to make that weigh in Saturday if you just wanted to wrestle freestyle. I am not sure if it would be fair to allow night before satelitte weigh in for the freestyle only wrestlers. Would it be giving them an advantage over those wrestling both greco and freestyle if you allowed the freestyle only wrestlers to make their weight the night before which could be about 18 hours before they had to wrestle?

I don't know about all that but I do think that the "only FS/only Sat. weigh-in" might just cause some "FS only wrestlers" to decide just to not wrestle at all. Additionally, it's not like the GR wrestlers won't be eating during that said 18 hours. They will be eating too and will also have 18 hours before FS so they would have an advantage over FS only wrestlers if the FS only wrestlers have to weigh in Sat. The before mentioned scheme seems kind of crapish to me and definately unnecessary. Weigh in everybody Thursday just like the other tournaments and everyone will have the same opportunity to eat and be bigger. Why are we "punishing" FS only wrestlers? Why are we making this more difficult than it could be?

I agree with punishing freestyle only wrestlers. Waterboarding is what I would do to them.

Most excuses I hear from Freestyle only wrestlers, about not wrestling Greco, is "I am not any good at it". That is a lame excuse, do 'em both, take your lumps. You are not gonna be any good at it until you DO IT!!!

At this time this situation applys to far too many wrestlers. If they are paying $20 0r $40 to enter and not getting to wrestle why should we make them spend money to travel as well? Will someone please address this situaion?

Ok, that was a totally retarded response that has nothing to do with what I was talking about.
Whether someone should do FS, GR or both and why they chose to decide that is a seperate issue which I am not concerned with right now.

Driving across kansas & wrestling in a two man round robin is not worth the time or money. Please use block wrestling & get more matches for all.

I think for a state qualifier or national qualifier you can do block for exhibitions, but I also know they are reluctant to do it as they have been in the past. We have shown up in the past for Southern Plains and had no one to wrestle, and they wouldn't do exhibition. It was for placement and seeding though. But to agree with Michael, it makes it hardly worth it by the time you figure in all of the costs.

BTW, I think Will's question is a rather valid and appropriate question, I am sure he isn't the only one wanting to know that answer.

I didn't see any where as to when freestyle starts wrestling, does any one have this info. Thanks in advance.

Every effort will be made to begin wrestling at 8:00 A.M.
