Hello,
First off I want to thank everyone for their entries and their support for Kansas Sprawl Nationals. Unfortunately, Due to an unforeseen Wrestling clinic that is being held the same weekend in Oklahoma a lot of our Oklahoma clubs and kids that were planning on attending and supporting us have decided to attend this clinic in Oklahoma, their 2000 wrestler participants were reached. Obviously we were not expecting to lose these numbers and it hurt our registration total.

Our total registration was about 450 wrestlers. We were expecting about twice these numbers. However, some of the kids that have entered are definantly some of the most elite wrestlers around. With us spending over $8,000 on awards alone and the ability to be one of the best tournaments around we DO NOT want to cancel this tournament. We would like to see all the brackets full though.

With that, we will be pushing this tournament back to Jan 16-17, 2010. This will allow us to get our registration up and provide you with one of the most stacked tournaments around. So we need to know how you want us to handle your entries? If this date is fine with you and you still want to keep your entry in just let us know and we will keep everything as it is and keep you entered.

If you have already sent payment to us and are still wanting to stay in that is fine we will just mark you down as paid. Obviously we would like to keep all the entries we already have if possible and keep the competition growing. However, I know there may be reasons that this new date just does not work out for you. If that is the case please let us know and if you have to pull out and have already paid we will return your entry fees.

Thanks

What about those of us who bought hotel rooms for two nights through Priceline witch is non refundable? Are you guys going to refund that money? I know that when the numbers were down at Amarillo Nationals Jack Roller did not cancel his tournament because his reputation was on the line. Being wishy washy on your tournament will only hurt you in the future.I want a Refund on my motel $102 for two nights and $30 dollar entry fee.

In all fairness though when was the last time that anyone saw a tournament canceled 4 days before the tourney? I know that when I rent rooms I always try to get the best deal.
