well dang it just set free beer out the back door next time and I will not complain.

That would be cool, but somebody would complain!!

How many coaches have seen the abuse of the hospitality room? I have witnessed many times the abuse of hospitality rooms. I.E. Coaches/Dads taking their wrestlers (and sometimes their other children) to eat the hospitality room food.

I guess to shorten the response to this we better rephrase the question "How many coaches have NOT seen abuse of the hospitality room?"

Hospitality is meant for coaches, ref's and workers NOT everyones family.

i thought we established before that they were suggestions. any questions? every tournament needs an improvement somewhere.

"If you settle for what you have, you deserve what you get!"

the only abuse i see is usually the host club letting their kids in the graze. i've been doing this a long time, about 15years, and haven't seen too much abuse. the bottom line is that someone brought up a good point, you may disagree and that's ok too. the point is improvement. i agree with matman it's not the best set up, there were 400+kids there, the club would not have gone broke by setting up a hospitality room.

and what about the table workers kids? when they are volunteering their time to help a club out, what does it hurt for their kids to get a slice of pizza. come on, this is about KIDS WRESTLING, quit turning it into a bigger deal than it is. if there weren't coaches, referees, table workers none of this would be possible. everyone knows that concessions is where clubs make all the $$$, having a few kids slip into the hosp. isn't going to break anyone.

You know i try and shut my mouth and then you have idiots on here that make stupid comments. I would really love to meet M. Bockman and just see what his wrestling club has to deal with, I mean cmon dude we are talking about a kid friendly sport and then you go turn this thread upside down. I know im speaking for alot of people i wish you would just shut your mouth, i mean get real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way thanks suckerpunch i appriciate your acknowledgement on here about this subject. But if im outta line PLease let me know ok.

Suggestion, pack a cooler don't expect a hospitality room, that's a bonus when there is one. The past two weeks have been tickets for the concession stand. Also keep in mind that you are volunteering for a non profit so anything you eat is tax deductible. Hotels & gas too.

i guess i don't get where we have people telling people to shut there mouth, and name calling on a public forum where kids get on here and look. maybe a better place for that would be myspace. just my thoughts on the matter.

remember all were in this for the kids.

You know what im gonna be the bgger person and not sa another word on this thread was just trying to make a valid point. But i can clearly see that only two people on here can have an opinion. So for those of you who have understood Thank You. As for the rest well.....................

matman you need to go to some anger management classes buddy. I guess you need a picture drawn out for you to understand. I agree maybe on the hospitality room but not really. i personally dont rely on one to go to a tournament. what i do have a problem with is you coming on here talking about it. suggest it to the tournament director if your such a man. I told you I was wrong to get on your post and now your shout that flapper of yours about shutting my mouth. You are such a manly man. that is my opinion like it or not. Im moving on so i hope you can grow up enough to do the same. see ya at the next tournament friend.

I just had to get on here and thank you guys for one of the funniest and most entertaining threads I have read...you guys had me cracking up. Take care and good luck.

your right. this has turned out to be something childish. I apologize for all the negative talk. I am finished and moving on.
